Geologyhound Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I know it may not be much by some standards, but 1882 beats my oldest coin by about two years. So I am happy to have it! Now to supplant it with something even older… Found it at an old school house about 5 inches down along the edge of a bowl shaped depression from an old tree. It was a little jumpy on modified fast (Deus 2), but kept giving me a fairly consistent zinc penny range signal. Also, the neighbor lady said she spoke with prior detectorists. So the site has been cherry picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found wheaties with illegible dates. So yes, a clearly legible date is certainly welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Finding an IHP always makes me smile. 🙂 What it means is you're going to find something older eventually. 👍 Nice coin! I'd be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with that. I certainly had a big grin when I figured out the date! 😁 I don’t know about anyone else but I would rather find one IHP for a day than a pile of clad.
