Treasure Hunter

 While looking for glass after a rain storm, Bill found this penny in the back yard!  It is a 1901 Indian Head penny in case you can't read it.
They are a pretty common coin as far as collecting goes, worth around $20 or more if you find the right buyer! lol   It was an exciting find nonetheless and we will be finding a good way to display it soon!  (I hear that metal detector calling me again!)
