    No extraordinary individual finds this weekend, but lots of fun digging nevertheless!

    (2) Indian Heads - 1906, 1906
    (17) Wheat Cents
    (4) V Nickels - 1893, 1905, 1910, 1910
    (2) Buffalo Nickels - 1920, Dateless
    (1) War Nickel - 1943-P
    (2) Mercury Dimes - 1928, 1944

    I think four V Nickels in one day is a new record for me. I found all four of them this afternoon in the same park. 1893, 1905, 1910, 1910

    What no GW's to post. Shame on you.... rofl rofl. Your keeper pile is exceptional as always. 4 V's is a record in my book. It's hunts like this that give us all hope.
