Alec and I went back to the park today that we hunted last Saturday. When we got there, the ground was covered in snow and it was cold. By noon the snow was gone and it was in the 50s. It turned out to be a great day!!
The Highlight of the day was Alec got his first Nickel Tri-Fecta.
The park has obviously been pounded to death, but they forgot all the nickels. They were all deep, but they were everywhere.
Here are the results from our all day hunt.
I dug 3 V nickels, 4 buffalo Nickels, 1 Merc, 1 Barber Dime, 1 Indian, 1 1954 foreign coin, 6 wheats and a bunch of Jeffersons.
Alec dug 1 V Nickel, 2 Buffalo Nickels, 2 War Nickels, 1 Barber Dime, 4 Indians, 7 Wheats and a bunch of Jeffersons.
Needless to say, we had a great day. I hope the weather holds off just a little longer.


One of the buffs that Alec dug was a 1913 type II with no mint mark.

P.S. please excuse my grammar in the post title. I must have been tired when I posted this.

Looks like you found a lot more than just nickels. That was quite the hunt. Surprised with all the nickel signals you didn't sneak a gold ring in there. great bunch of coins. Hope you get a few more weeks in. WD

I know, and only a couple of pull tabs. Everything was deep. Most of the junk was balled up foil.
The high tones on the other hand, produced a bunch of junk.

Amazing! I'd say you guys have found a great park to hunt! It reminds me of when I first started hunting at Two Cent Park, old nickels everywhere! Holy cow, look at that pile of Jeffersons you found! I bet there are some shield nickels there too, and possibly some seated dimes. Pretty cool that you found an 1892 Barber Dime, first year of the Barbers.

Congrats to you both on the incredible hunt! :clapping:

You went all summer wanting to find a "V" nickel. Now you have 4 in 2 hunts. WTG

I know what you mean. It is a real temptation to pass on the pull tab signals, but it really paid off for y'all. Congrats on the great hunt.
