Third Bucketlister of the Year!

I met up with a fellow detectorists yesterday almost 3 hours south of me for a hunt. We found a street tear out in town while driving around. I was detecting in front of a very old church where the sidewalks were torn out and already replaced. I was detecting the sidewalls of the cut along the sidewalk when i got a 14-15 signal on the Nox. I was expecting anything special. Thats when I first layed eyes on my very first 3¢ coin!! And it's the nickel variety!! Now I need one of the silver ones!

Thanks for lookin!! HH!! :groovy:

Thanks Don! I'm not complaining! :lol:
Its one of my new favorites!:thumbsup02:

A nice bucket lister and in full bloom . Way to go Timmy , Congrats !

Congrats on a very scarce find! I found one, also at a tear out, about 7-8 years ago, no idea it would be a coin at the time!

Such a difficult coin to find with a metal detector! They ring up so low they sound like junk. Huge congrats on that rare find, Tim!

Great rare find. Don't here about many being posted. Congrats on the bucket lister. WD

Great find Tim! 3 hours south of you puts you in my old stomping grounds!

Awesome find! Probably the hardest coin to detect in my opinion. Big congrats!!

I got my first one in a pocket spill with three Indians while in Connecticut. Congrats!

Wow! Yeah you just hardly ever so those posted. Great find!

Thanks Tony! Yeah, 14-15? That in the "half of a pulltab" range as far as target ID goes. :lol: But in places like that, that's why we dig everything right!
