1800's Indian Head Cent Spill!

FreeBirdTim · Sep 28, 2020

It finally rained here in Rhode Island last night, so I headed for the woods today. Slow day until I got a low 70's signal about five inches down. Pulled out three really crusty coins. Could see that one was an IHC, but the other two were mystery coins.

When I got home, I soaked them in warm hydrogen peroxide, which cleaned them up enough to ID. They're 1875, 1883 and 1893 IHC's! Not in the greatest shape, but at least I could get a date off of them. Not a bad day when you find three coins from the 1800's!

I've never had a 3 IH's pocket spill before. Wanna trade for a 3 wheatie spill ? :wow:

It's such a great feeling just seeing an old coin like these in the hole! Nice work.

Where's mine? I've never gotten an Ihc?

FreeBirdTim · Sep 28, 2020

Thanks, guys! Nice to be out again. I had almost given up the last month because the ground is so dry. Looks like a lot of rain is headed my way this week, so maybe the old coins will start popping again.

Three 1800’s coins in the same day? Pretty damn good! Three 1800’s coins in the same HOLE??....Priceless. I wish I had a woods like that! You know what I find in the woods? Wood! Love the Indians, that’s a nice catch!

Any spill is exciting but three indians is awesome! Congrats!

I have never done that before. Great dig bro!

FreeBirdTim · Sep 30, 2020

Thanks again! Guess I'm not the only one who likes finding IHC's!

DigginDemOldCoi · Sep 30, 2020

Wait til you find the rest of their bodies. It's almost as exciting

Nice spill, congrats.

I love the multi color and darker toning that at least two of them have.

Lol man don't get me started.... :laughing:

I had a property permission last year that I found a personal record of 53 wheats...some in spills, others loners. It was as if someone just chucked a huge handful of them in the general direction of the front yard. :lol:

No key dates, but it was still a lot of fun.
I ended up giving the nice fella who gave me permission 25 of them. :confetti:
