4th Ever Indian Head Penny

[Explorer.se]

Wow is all I can say. I can’t ever remember me finding more old coins than new ones. I searched an old home built in 1911 and the only new coins that I found were a 1963 and 1964 Lincoln Memorial. The rest is as follows:
1870 Spain Cinco Centimos
Chinese token
1916 ? Not sure on the mint mark yet
1894 Indian Head Penny (finally got the monkey off my back because I had previously found them from 1900 and newer)
Wheat Pennie’s:
1912
1917
1918
1919
1921
1924
1945
1953
1958

I also found a couple rings
Silver spoon or silver plated


I am beside myself right now. I love swinging the Deus2.

1916 is Mercury Dime

That's a tough call on the Merc mint mark! Looks like you had a nice hunt. Kind of odd that there were not more "newer" coins, it may have been hunted by someone else in the past.

That's quite a day. Great job and congrats on the old Indian.

You had great results from that site!
Not sure on the mintmark on the dime, but a 1916 even without the mintmark is rare for me!!
Keep hitting that site!!!

Same here… I found one last year… no mint mark at all on mine.

Congrats! Most of the Indian cents I find are toasted from farm chemicals. I don't bother to look at them too much anymore.

You definitely need to get back in that area and finish getting some more old finds, there's got to be more in there.
