Five indians today thanks to Charlie

Got my first indian today and then four more! I owe these finds to my good friend Charlie. He did all the research on this site, got permission for both of us to hunt and invited me along long before the placed was picked over. I could not ask for a better hunting partner.

Like an IDIOT, I overdid the cleaning but hopefully there are a few more there to be had. I'll never learn.
 
As an avid coin collector, and having read over 100 books on the subject, it has been drummed into my head never to clean a coin. Personally I only clean coins if I can't identify the date. I've done some grinding and polishing on a few wheats I've found that have had caked on corrosion just to get the dates. I am not fond of the look of cleaned or polished coins nor do I have any in my collection. Cleaned or polished coins almost impossible to sell to any serious coin collector.

If you plan on being the last owner of your finds then clean away.

That is an interesting day to say the least. I'd be curious to see what else you dug today and what you dig there in the future. IHs are not something I find very often and I usually go months between finding one. You did great!

Chris

The coins in you pic look fine to me even cleaned. Slab them up and put them in your book or get an IH coin folder and start filling in holes. You've already got a nice start in only one day!
 
Earth........:rofl: (Pennsylvania)

Thanks Chris, I have no intention of parting with any of my coins. If I found a key date coin that was worth selling I wouldn't even think of cleaning it.
Charlie has already found seven IH's there and an 1853 seated dime but no other silvers yet.
Most of these IH's were less than an inch deep, one was about four inches.
 
Gongrats on the great finds hoping there lots more for you.!!
 
Great finds B2H!! I love I.H. coins:thumbup:
