Got out with Fast Frank yesterday for an all day hunt. Temps were 46 at the start of the hunt and went up to about 70.
Was able to cross off my 1st Shield Nickle off my bucket list.

Thanks Everyone!
Thanks Dan. We went back to the site where I dug my only IH earlier this summer. Was about 1 coil swing away but missed it. Frank is doing just fine. He had the Hot Coil on Sunday.Originally Posted by del
Thanks. That long thing is an Ox knob. They ring up like a LC and are the bane of Cellar Hole diggers.
Actually when I first dug it I was like oh great a dang Wheatie. Was happy when I saw the 5 in the center as I knew what I had then.Great Roger! Shield nickels are a sweet surprise! You're thinking, "oh, here's another shotgun shell" and WHAM

Congrats!
Send me your address & I'll send them to you, LOL!
