Well this fits well into both coin shooters and relic hunters category...

I mainly relic hunt but sometimes find coins along the way.

First IH and it's a 1864 ! A little rough but still was a great day.

Group photo of today's keepers..

Found a lot of horse tack but this is the first one with a star on it ..not a big deal but an interesting detail to me.

Congrats on your first! :yes: I'm very interested in the photo locket - is the photo intact or rotted away, or is that glass in the center? Clean it gently as if it is a glass plate there might still be an image... I'm curious to know if any image is still visible. I want to find a photo relic like that more than just about anything else...

Unfortunately no glass or photo.

Congrats. It took me a couple of years to find my first IH. And it was just as crusty.
