Our first Indian and oldest!

A couple of weeks ago I found my first silver; a barber dime. The past few days I have been detecting in my back yard. I discovered it is full of junk. My detector is a Delta 4000. I wasn't having much luck so I decided to try my sons Compadre. I started finding some wheat pennies. The other day my son and I were swinging the Compadre in the back yard. I got a good signal and dug what I thought was a penny. I handed it to my son and he cleaned it off with a little spit and he started jumping up and down. :happydance01: I thought all this for a wheat? It was an 1891 Indian Head!! Our first. My son went inside for supper I got another good signal a few feet away from where the IH was found. I dug it and saw silver! Whoohoo! But it looked different. I brought it inside and handed it to my son. An 1886 Seated Dime!!!!

Wow, those are two great finds, Craig! :loveit:

That Indian Head is in great shape, and it's always a tremendous thrill to find a Seated Liberty coin! :yes:

Need any help hunting that back yard? lol

Congrats on the super finds! :clapping:

I still cant believe I found them in my own back yard. My home was built in the 1920's but was told there used to be an old brick barn that once stood in the back yard.
