My first IH!

Scott in S.C. · Mar 31, 2006

Got out to a hard hit area this morning to test a Compass XP Pro Plus I just bought. Swung for ten minutes and found a 1949 Nick, 1984 Nick and a 1867 IH! I was so excited I left to show my wife. The IH was only 3" down.

Congrats. If I had found something like that,my wife would have had to send out a search party out for me.

Congratz Scott, I know the feeling. I went a lotta years without one until last fall, when I got my first. Now I have 11 so far.
You needed to break the ice. Now that it's a "been there done that" :yes:

deal, they will flow in. If there is one where you picked that one up there is more. Wait till you find your first Seated coin. "OH YEAH"................Gil

Scott,

I found my best IH 2 to 3 inches down myself. It now rests in my binder.

We were detecting behind a very old house next to a cemetery. We had to drive to the end of the cemetery to get there. You see, the town had just purchased land behind the house to expand the current cemetery and they were working the ground. Excavation for roadwork was also part of the project.

We obtained permission from the town to detect the area behind the house and beside the cemetery after it had been tilled but before it had been fully prepped for use. It was worth making the contact but there is still much more ground we did not cover. Once it is fully prepared for resting grounds, you won't see me there regardless of how many valuable coins we know could be laying there.

I think that IH is probably my most proud find to date.

Way to go on your first IH Scott. My first IH was so corroded that you couldn't make anything out on it. Hoping to find a good one this summer.
