Just got in ,raining like crazy today.Did a work estimate and decided to hit up a old spot for a few minutes,,dug these 3 and one not shown was a clock gear I pitched in the woods..Not cleaned yet but ones a Indian I think,wonder what the other is? Lol..the small lead thing is a sinker I think..I like the omegga 8500,really leaves the junk behind and hits hard on coins,used the 10 inch concentric today.

Congrats on your finds! :detector:

To me, the coin on the right looks like it is an early year Canadian small cent rather than a IHP. If you compare the lettering on the words "ONE CENT" it looks closer to a Canadian cent because of the font and because on the Canadian cent the letters "O" looks to be directly above the letter "C" rather than being slightly off like the IHP. (Images below are from Bing.com)

Also, on yours it looks like it might have the 2 arrows and a dot below the cent (like the Canadian cent). No matter what it is, very nice finds.

Nice little hunt Butcher. I agree with Wolf, that does look like a Canadian Penny. We will know for sure after the cleaning. Trapper

You guys were right,it was a 1920 Canadian wheat penny..The other was a 1892 Indian head penny..They both need some more cleaning tho,I have them soaking in soapy water..Never thought much about a Canadian wheat penny,it was jumping from mid to high tone so I really thought it might be my first flying penny..oh well,I’m glad to have it and the Indian,,they don’t come too often..thanks for the help and ID

Nice. I found a lot of dirt gold with my Omegas. If you got a solid tone just below nickel you really need to dig it!

Congrats on the old Canadian cent and the injun. Nothing like pulling out some goodies from old spots.
