One little Indian

[laplander]

Managed to slip out for a short hunt to a hay field that has a couple early cabin sites. This one has been stingy only giving up a Shield Nickle on a previous hunt. Trust me there are lots of targets and iron just not many keepers. This one was a solid 17 but was difficult to get over due to the iron concentration. It was just one year off from the Holy Grail "77"

There’s plenty of days I wish my find was only a 76 IH. Looks like it should clean up nice.

 

[utmike]

Not the 77 but still a good date in nice shape. Nice find!

 

[fwcrawford]

Maybe the ‘77 is nearby…

ya you just missed the KEY date, I actally found an 1877 in really great shape digging a dump , and did not know it was rare and have lost it ,that was back in the 80,s when i was more of a bottle digger
