First off, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  Didnt have much time to search for stuff because I had family in town and havent had access to the computer.  I did about $500 in halves with nothing but a skunk.  Also did a few boxes of nickels and found my 10th Buffalo for the year.  It was a well worn 1916 that I had to acid treat to see the date. 
A few weeks back I decided to order the Ryedale "Ace" and try my hand at pennies.  Last week I ramped up with about $100 worth of pennies to test the little machine with when I had some free time over the break.  Got about $25 into the $100 and this little baby poped out (see picture).  I see some people on here wait up to 9 years before they find their first IH.  I feel really lucky to find it in the first weekend I start searching pennies.  Kind of like how I found a V nickel in my first box I ever searched.  Must have some good beginners lucks.  Well hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and found lots of silver.  Thanks for looking.

I think anytime someone finds an IH it's a great find. It also tempts the heck out of me to get one of those rydales and search away.
As I look at the picture of that particular coin they should start using that design again. Not  on the penny but maybe on a half dollar or a silver eagle.
Congrats on a good find and a good photo.
Catchy title too !

    Nice icon_thumright - I used to do the cents. Only got one Indian and it took quite a few months to get it. To get it the first week is great and it is in pretty good shape.

    detect4au, didnt run it through the Ace.  I found it right before I was about to load it.  Didnt want to take the chance of getting it scratched.  Maybe I will give it a whirl tonight and see what it does.

    Nice find.  The boys and I went out on Black Friday and found a very similar IH and one Roosevelt.  Overall we hit 29 banks, shelled out about $350 for the coins and had a lot of fun in the process.
