A young lady, a Chief and the harvest

I did a little dirt fishing yesterday and landed a 1898 Indian Head penny and 1942 Merc and two wheat pennies a 1946 and 1948D. This is the 1st Indian head penny that I've found in several years. This is my second silver of the year.. the first was a 1935 Merc.. that is badly worn. I found it last week about 500 yards from where I hunted today, that day I also found a dropped 58 cal minnie and what I believe could be a fired minnie. Where I hunted is on the path of Nathan Bedford Forrest's raid.
I don't get to hunt much due to hip pain.. I carried my Sampson shovel today.. it sure makes it easier getting up after diggin'

That looks like a fun area to hunt . Hope that hip gets better .

Thanks guys.. If my hip doesn't get any better.. I'll have to give up the hobby or have surgery @ 61 it's hard enough getting up and down without hip pain.
I have two ghost towns I want to find and search.. I hope that I get to do that..

Very nice finds, I can relate to the hip pain, but believe me it can get worse, had a stroke about a year ago, try hunting with a walker.

The fired minie' was from very close range---check the surrounding area closely.

my Hip is doing good today.. I'm off from work Fri-Sun & hope to go some dirt fishing Fri as heavy rains are expected Sat... One strange thing I also found was a piece of white quartzit must have been hauled it with some other gravel by the county. I believe I'll crush it and pan it out.. Be nice to find a few specks of oro... aka gold
