Not much but I'm proud of em...

Well, I went to a pounded out spot and was able to manage a couple older coins. 1929 Wheatie and a real nice 1880 Indian head.

This 1880 is real nice. Full Liberty. Will clean up real nice.

Not a hole lot but I was glad to be able to eek out a couple from a hard hit spot.

Good job...persistence often pays benefits! Nice looking Indian there.

The 1880 should look really nice with a nice soapy bath.

A couple nice ones, congrats. 95 here today, don't think I'll be hunting for a while.

It's a good find because it's from the 1800s and it's not corroded.

I just bought an Ex2 hoping to up my silver hunting. I have yet to find an Indian or any coin older than 1900. I actually feel pretty good about any coin older than I am. My hunting is usually geared to the beach and I have my share of gold and silver jewelry. Your coin is beautiful and well preserved with no visible nicks in recovery. I'd be very proud to make that find!

Hey Pastor Tom, if you are a Pastor you should have no trouble getting into old church lots in your surrounding area. I have done real good at those type of spots for old coins. Do some research with old Plat maps and with the mighty explorer 2 you are bound to find some goodies.

If you want to keep the green patina..just scratch of all the dirt with a tooth pic..don't ever get it wet! Use this method on all copper coins.

Been cleaning indian heads for years using hydrogen peroxide and selling them off. Eats all the dirt away and don't hurt the coin.
