An Indian and two shiny ladies

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Hit the same park I detected yesterday that gave up the 5 Indian heads and a V-nickle. Hoped for a few more of those nice cents. Had an uneventful start finding a few wheat cents and then a deep, iffy signal caught my attention. After digging down the length of my X-1 probe, I pulled a 1912 Barber dime from the hole, stuck the probe back in and it still rang out with a high tone. Was temporarily disappointed when the next coin out of the hole was a wheat cent. Stuck the probe back in and another high tone target was still in there. This time a 1918 mercury dime came to light. Gotta love those pocket spills. Later on I dug a nice 1886 Indian head cent and a few more wheaties. Had a decent weekend with 6 Indian head cents, the Barber and mercury dimes and a V-nickel.

Nice finds, and some age on them to boot. Sweet.

That 1886 Indian is type 2. The best of the two types made that year. Congratulations!

I guess you could say I cut my metal detecting teeth at this park way back in 1987. In fact, 2 guys who lived right across the street pounded this place for years when the White's 6000 Di Pro was one of the top detectors on the market. I must confess, the power of the Explorer must take a lot of the credit. Most of the signals are not easy and the cross hairs on the smart screen are not much help. Just going mostly on sound and depth. A lot of deep targets, very trashy and deep iron everywhere. I'm still amazed to be pulling oldies out of there.
