A lot depends on your soil like most targets.
A common region is similar to a zinc cent, but often comes in a little lower like 18.
I have air tested many over the years and for some reason unlike zinc and copper cents or other coins like dimes they can vary.
In my soil 18 IH's up-average to about 21-23.
Yep, I’ve dug them with IDs ranging from 17-22. 18-19 seems to be the most common.

Like Digger and Rattle both said, I’ve found the copper Indians (95% copper, 5% tin/zinc, 1864 and later) come up anywhere between 18-23. In my soil, many tend to read on the higher side (20-22), while the more corroded or toasty ones tend to be 18-19.
But don’t forget the Fatty Indians (1859-1863 and some 1864) - they have a lower copper content (88%) mixed with nickel (12%), so they read lower on any detector. The Fatties show up as a 15-16 on the Equinox.
