Found my 2nd 1877 Indian head penny with equinox!!

[Detectorben]

Stopped at a small town park I have never hunted before over lunch today. First deep coin signal was hitting in the wheat penny range. I dug it out and was surprised to see a nice green indian staring back at me. I couldn't see the date so I hit it with my water spray bottle and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the date. 1877!!. This is my second 1877 indian head now. I dug one last year and unfortunately I scratched it good with my digger. Not this time! This one survived unscathed and it is in pretty good condition too. Only had about 30 minutes to hunt but I found this and a 1918 wheat penny so I am very pleased with the results.

Here is a link to my video with more finds and close up pics!

What an amazing (and good looking) 1877! Nice that you pulled it out unscathed too ~ a real bonus (as you now know lol)!
