I went back to my best permission a few times and got more keepers. The IHP was 1/2 inch thick with crud and corrosion. It took allot of electrolysis to burn it off. The 1910s wheatie was a nice surprise too. The sterling ring is so small. It is smaller in diameter than a dime.

I had gone to 3 new 1800's permissions and found nothing remotely old. I decided to ask at one more house, I thought for sure that it had already been done. The guy said have at it and it had never been done before. I thought he was mistaken till my first target was a wheatie. I dug the...

My birthday was a couple weeks ago on the 7th. My mom surprised me with these really neat cakes she made from scratch, and so I thought I would show ya all. :cake: :cake: She hand-decorated the cakes to look like the obverse & reverse of a IHP. It's 1904 because they weren't minted in 2004 - the...

I went out to the same spot as I found all of my recent good finds. I hit the 10 by 12 yard that I have done 6-7 times before. After only a few minutes I got a nice zinc signal. I dug down to 6 inches to see a green penny waiting for me. I instantly knew it was an 1800's IHP because of the heavy...

Got permission yesterday on an 1883 little house. Went out there with high hopes of finding something old. Well, about 20 minutes into the hunt I got a non-reapeatable Zinc signal. I want to sure about digging it but I decided it couldn't hurt. I was expecting a piece of trash , but was...

Hey,first I want to thank everyone who gave me tips on better detecting techniques and kept me going. I had driven past an old cattle corral for six years before thinking to detect it,but when the thought came to me I got permission on it and headed out for an afternoon of detecting. Within the...
