First day's hunt with my new E-Trac bags an unusual coin

[jimmyk]

Hi, all:

Took my new E-Trac out for it's maiden voyage, today. Went to a hundred year old park. Worked well in automatic. Have to go low and slow, as they say. Didn't find a lot. Only one old coin, but an unusual one. The coin itself isn't that unusual. I't a 1903 Indian Head penny. What's unusual is tha the Indian was shot in the head with what looks like a .22 cal. bullet. I recognize the indentation from doing the same thing when I was a kid. Somewhere there are a few silver dimes with the same dent in them. I think I'm going to like my new E-Trac. Like they said to the tourist in New York who was asking "How do you get to Carnege Hall", the New Yroker replied "Practice, man...practice." I"m hoping it will unlock the doors for some pounded old sites.

Thanks for looking, and keep on diggin;
