I got permission to hunt a new site Sunday and detected till after dark.
There was a lot of junk in the rocky soil around the barn so I moved to the front yard.
I unearthed several wheats dating from the 1930s and 40s, and one coin too crusty to tell.

It read lower then a penny on the XLT so I figured it was an Indian.

Sure enough, a good date in nice shape

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
 For undug coins this is true.  For dug coins this is untrue.
 The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

I used a toothpick and a stereoscopic microscope to slowly chip away at the crust. I learned the hard way not to use peroxide on green indians              link here
