[QUOTE="greglax45, post: 567084, member: 10203"]Hey Everyone, It's been a while since I've been on but I've been reading many great posts! Anyway, after the rain today I took my Bounty Hunter Sharpshooter out for a little walk in my backyard, not expecting to find anything. Usually all I pick up are useless pieces of scrap metal or old toys. So my home is around 200 years old and i know that I am bound to find some old coinage in the yard [I]somewhere[/I]. I Took the detector out for about 15 minutes, right outside the back door to see if there were any high-pitched hits. About 5 Minutes in, I got a 1cent/10Cent Signal, starting Digging, and I came out with an.. 1884 INDIAN HEAD CENT, right outside my back door! I Could not Believe it! Although somewhat green and dirty, the date is perfectly in tact and it looks great! To add to that I also found a 1956 Wheat Cent in about 5 feet of the Indian Head Cent! Two Coins under my feet where I walk by every day! I attached a few pictures of the coin and the surrounding area (as well as a picture of my dog)!> [URL]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2812/046ehz.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9444/047z.jpg%20http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2812/046ehz.jpg%20http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2168/037mhk.jpg"] [/URL][URL]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9444/047z.jpg[/URL] Dog [URL]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2168/037mhk.jpg[/URL] (unfortunately the green color didn't last, as my dad dipped it in tarnX- Bad idea....)
