Dances With Doves Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 The above is my buddy who found the one and the only time he is clad hopping is when he is hunting the dry sand and getting more then his share of the clad on the beach. This guy is a silver slayer that switched to the Nox from his Explorer 2. He said hunting some of the deep and difficult clad helped him adjust to the tougher old coins in the turf. It showed in the fall with his great results which included a Barber half in a pounded spot.The first 6 month in the turf he was kicking my butt on the silver with his explorer 2 where he started with 10 right off the bat and me head to head at 0 with my Nox.I made adjustments and I finished the year at almost a 100 even with my late start.In one park Emi made his Explorer get very bad results while my Nox cleaned up. Around the end of 2019 he bought one and he like me had to adjust to the new machine.I knew the X-terra very well and this helped me adjust to the sounds.He has now adjusted where he can keep up with me with his Nox.He used it in the water ,on the dry sand plus in the turf and did great in all these spots .It is a machine that is great in many different places.This machine is more then a jack of all trades.

Valens Legacy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The 1877 is very rare to find, my grandfather has 1 in his collection that he bought before I was born. The value has gone through the roof when they are in great condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Doves Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 My friend who found that coin above did not even know the 1877 was a key date until he gave the guy who has 2 of those key coins all the dates of the Indians he found that day over the phone. The guy who gave him the info that he had a key date over the phone found his 2 coins after my friend found the one above.The 1877 is the only one I am missing.

Did you find all of them with a detector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, all the ones but the S mint coins and the 1877.I even got the 1864- L .There was one older park that gave up a good number and having a explorer in 2000 gave me an edge. I also got my only silver dollar in this park and over a 100 civil war mini balls plus a a US belt plate.I thought I would get a gold coin here put that did not pan out.

Mike Haer Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have never found an 1877 Indian but I was fortunate to find an 1872 with incredible detail. Being a semi key date Indian if it didnt have the green patina it would be around a 500 dollar coin. One thing I was lucky enough to find was a 1916 D mercury dime that graded out to VF-35 and ironically enough I found both coins in the same weekend hundreds of miles apart!

I think a smooth clean pea green Indian looks way cooler then a brown or red one.A nice 1872 Indian is a great find.Me and my friends have been trying for that 1916-d merc but no luck.That to me is better then a 1877 Indian since they are harder to find. 2 of my buddies did get a 1921 merc in the same small field of one section of a park.
