Default Breaking the century mark!

Got out for a quick little hunt tonight at a place that had given up silver and a number of wheats. Its a homestead that dates to about 1900. I was having some luck pulling somemore wheats when all of the sudden I took a second look.
I found my first IH penny its not the most beautiful but its a 1891!

Great job! The further west you are the harder it is to break into the 1800's it seems.

You will find many more now!

Congrats on breaking the 1800s barrier! Feels good doesn't it? Now you gotta shoot for 1700. Congrats, and let's see a pic.


Hunt Happy!
