Today's Find...well worth it

[grahamcracker]

Let me preface this with I have been using an SE for a little over a month (this is my first Minelab) and after some frustration I have recently started to feel comfortable with this machine. Well, today I was able to get permission from a neighbor to hunt one of their properties that dates back to the early 1800's and has never been hunted before. I was pretty excited, but after about 2 hours of hunting and nothing to show but junk this beauty popped out right next to a sidewalk. I was ecstatic to say the least, didn't think it would be that old. There must be a ton of junk because I get a ton of "nulling" on the machine. Considering the age of this house there has to be some more good coins around. Guess I will just have to go real SLOW.

I researched this coin a little bit in my coin price guide and I think it may be the variety with the "L" on it. If any of you have the "Guide Book of United States Coins" check it out. The 1864 with the "L" is one of the rarest of the indian heads. I believe I can make out an "L" not positive though. Also, in the reference it says if the "L" is too worn to be seen you can see if the bust is pointed, which it only is with this variety. I'm not sure what would make the bust pointed, but if anyone has further information please let me know. Thanks

That is the L variety because of the pointed bust, I have a couple 64's that have no L and have the straight neck. Good find!!
