I pulled 6 last year. They are a tough find for me. They seem to hit like zinc pennies in my soil. I think I've walked over more than a few.
Pretty much ring in as a zinc penny for me, too. I dig any zinc over 5”. Got to dig the zincs to get the IHs!
I got single digit annual IH counts for a few years in a row now. It was only this last year (2018) that I learned they read like zincolns. I think it was TundraPlugger that mentioned this in one of his many IH finds posts. After reading that, I saw my 800 nox read one at 19, and another from 18 to 20. I also learned that many gold rings come in that range too. So yeah, I dig a lot of pennies...of any variety.
2 total in forever.
Same here...in 10yrs detecting...a grand total of 2 IHPs found. I found one with the AtPro in the water at a very old lake, and one nice key date fresh drop in a middleschool chip totter underneath the tumble bars with the F70...
I figure the one in the Lake was lost 100yrs ago, and the one in the totter was lost maybe 5 days before I found it and originated from poor old G'pas coin collection..I got $7 for the totter one...
I sure gave that totter a complete sweep that day! Figuring if little Jimmy stole an IHP, maybe, just maybe, he got his dipskimmers on G'Pas silver dollars!.
