I'm dancing all around that date with the amount of IH cents I've dug over the years. 1863 on up. My latest is 1900.
 
Saw a guy on youtube dig 2 one he gashed with his shovel then he dug another and digging Dou has dug a few! just like the 1916D mercury I've dug a lot of those never a D
But I found my gold coin first year detecting.

I think you could actively dig for 40 years and never find an 1877 Indian Head. There is no area of the country or type of spot that would give you an advantage in finding one. They were not identified as being rare in 1877 so most of them circulated just like all the other dates. I have found most of the dates of Wheat Cents over the years, but after finding several thousand, I still have not found a 1954-P that has a mintage of over 71 million.

I think there is something to the location if you ever find that spot. A military barrack I have heard to produce more that 20 16ds, my friend has 3 77's from one county, I have personally dug 3 14d wheaties from one county in Ne. So if you think of a bank\military etc.. opening a new bag of coins, you could have a concentration, just have to find the (spot).
