Minelab E-TRAC Forum

Well it finally happened folks! On November 25 at 10:30 PST I finally dug up my very first Indian Head Penny! I have taken the before and after pictures. I’ve also added another scalloped shape token to my collection. It is a Bentley and Bentley Cigar Token. I love this hobby! I don’t know if this other item is a token as well. I will need your help with that!

Very nice on both! There many many “firsts” in this hobby,each one as exciting as the next! Love it!

Congrats on your first Indian! That scalloped token is very nice also.

Sure it’s 1900 I don’t know if they came with mintmark but I don’t see one one the back. Thanks for looking.

I believe the U.C.P & Co. tag is from the Union Central Pacific Railway - Omaha to California.

Here's a little info to get you started:
