<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Danjohnson, post: 2800738, member: 80228&quot;]Sorry for the sorry pics. Went on a metal detecting hunt on the parade grounds of a certain Army post, which will remain unnamed. Lots of dirt work has apparently been done over the years but I managed to find an area that seemed to be unmolested. Pulled several lead bullets, the one showing being the best example ( I gave three others to my hunting partners). </p><p><br /></p><p>Pulled an amazingly well preserved 1870 Indian head penny. I tried to get better photos but my wife quit on me after several tries. The Liberty is very visible on her headband and seems to have very little wear. I&#039;m not a good judge but seems like this was dropped not long after it began to circulate. The other Indian head penny came from another park the same day. This is what one normally looks like coming out of the ground. Oh, and the photos make the coin seem to have a copper color. It actually has a green sheen as shown in the group photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Barber dime and shield nickel came out of the same hole from the parade grounds. Shield Nickel and the Buff both went in my coin tumbler. They don&#039;t do well in the ground and unless they&#039;re key dates, I don&#039;t see a problem with cleaning them up.[ATTACH=full]652868[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]652869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]652870[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]652871[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
