I returned to the 100 year old school today with my XP Deus metal detector. I was met there by Silversmith45 from the Friendly Metal Detecting Forum. Going over the same dirt where I pulled a 1920 Merc, I came across a signal that was in the pulltab range with the smallest bleep of a high tone. Since the soil at this site seems to be a bit strange, I decided to dig it. At about 5-6 inches, I found this 1907 Indian Head cent in kind of a corroded state.
Not bad for hunting a spot that I’ve been over twice already.
There is a high probability that this Indian Head cent has been in the ground for 100 years. The person who dropped this coin is probably dirt themselves by now.
I continue to be impressed with my Deus. I even found this coin without headphones as I had forgotten them at home.
I lost count of how many Indians I’ve found this year. I think maybe 10 or 12 now.
This is Indian Head cent number 9 for the year. Even though it is the most recently minted Indian, it is also about the worse condition-wise. The years of my Indians are:
1881
1887
1888
1890
1897
1901
1906 (x2)
1907
All of them were found in Wichita. I wonder if I can find 10 indians for the year.
Thank you for looking!
You are killing that school! You must take me there.
