First Coin I found Friday Morning. I couldn't believe it. It only took 34 Years. Also Found a 1872 British Penny, DEEP, Was Black when I pulled it out. I soaked it overnight, But not alot better yet. Also found Two Indian Heads, 1864 and the other one is still soaking. Found 4 Wheats. 1909 1911-s 1926 1927, Also a Bus Token Good For One Fare, And a Couple old Military Buttons.
I didn't think we had this old of coin's in North Dakota, But I was wrong. And very Happy also. I will post the Indians when they are Cleaned. Thanks for looking.

and lots of others have hit this spot for a number of years, I think the rain we got the night before had something to do with it. Thats the main reason I tryed this same worked out spot again. The other Indian was a 1889.

I also found a 1864 Indian Head but it was last year at a worked out park. And the 1875 Seated Dime, I also found one last year but my mintmark was CC. Great finds and hope you keep doing well. Good Luck and HH.

Great finds man, congrats on the first seated! BTW how do you clean your copper, that 1864' injun cleaned up real nice, and i have some copper i need to clean up and im not sure the best way. Great job again!

Took it out every other day and Brushed it with a Stiff toothbrush and a little dish soap. if a Guy keeps working um like that, They will mostly all come out fairly nice. But I have had some that didn't clean up to well either even after several months. I tryed Clamato Juice a couple of weeks ago and was really surprized out that worked also. Give each a try and see what you can do with them.
