What’s your high number for Indian Heads in a year?

[spenglure]

Seems to be a lot of low numbers and then some higher numbers. I take that as the difference between digging and skipping zinc signals.

One so far. 1907. Hope 2019 is better!

For the most part I would agree. However, I do try to dig all coin signals, I just havn't hunted many old sites.

Last year was my first year - I found eight. Three at an old school, two at an old homesite, two in a farmyard next to my house.

2017 was my best career year for injuns, I found 59 that year. Here's the thread: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=255565 ill never come close to that total again unless I stop trying to squeeze a few goodies out of my hammered areas and try something new. Good luck this year!

That's an amazing # of indian heads. I'm with you. I crushed Indians in 2017 but my totals were down in 2018. I didn't get out as much as I had hoped. Hopefully 2019 can hit that magical 50 number. Being one short of 50 certainly provides motivation! I could go back to some hammered sites as well and perhaps pull a few, but to really find them again we need some fresh sites!

I should go back and count my estimate of 50 is probably low, but I am about the same for 2018 as your 2017. I don't expect to find that many in a year ever again.

I think I found 3 a couple of years ago. Took me until September to find my only one last year. I dig all zinc signals hoping for that gold ring. Some day it will happen

1, sadly. And it wasn't last year.

Zero so far, but I’ve also been walking on what I think are zinc signals. Guess I’ll stop that foolishness!

IHPs are not very common where I live but are always fun to find. I got 3 last year and another one a couple weeks ago.

Nice ones. I enjoy digging Indians as much as silver coins. I do t know what it is about them. Always loved the design. Even if they are toasted they are still love them.

Last year, my first year of much detecting, I found 4. 1 so far this year.

 

[matmit]

In 2016 I hit 50 for the first time with exactly 50.
In 2017 I managed 58.
last year I only found 38.

I LOVE INJUNS

Seriously, no more walking on zincs! I’ve been dying to find my first IH. To think I may have walked on one! Noob!

That’s awesome! I can’t wait to find my first. Congratulations on such a successful first year!

FYI a $5 US gold piece also will read like an Indian head. If you are out in CA you really need to be digging zincs, lol!!

Yeah, I saw that in someone’s comment as well. Not sure if it was this thread. Yeah I will be digging my zincs from now on. At least that’s my intention!

I’ve been a typical noob thinking I knew what I was passing on, even though I constantly read to dig it all until you are certain as to what you are walking on!

Here’s to an IHP AND a $5 gold piece!!!
