Thread: Nickel trifecta, silver and an IH...

    Nickel trifecta, silver and an IH...

    Got out for a nice hunt this afternoon. Found a new spot that has some potential. Lots and lots of trash in the top 2 inches, but the goodies are hiding at 5+ inches.

    A couple of Rosie's, a Merc and a War Nickel.



    The two V's were sandwiched together. You can see the contact marks. That was a fun dig.



    Sure wish the half dollar was silver. I'm not quite sure what the tag is from. I wonder if 1895 is a date?



    The pool products token was at the bottom of the hole when I popped a large plug.
    Of course it was sticking out (with a reeded edge) just enough to get my hopes up. lol
    Another Cocoa Pebbles Dinosaur token too... anybody else remember these?


    I can't wait to get back there with my smaller coil. There's got to be some older silver waiting to be found.

    It's the first time I've gotten a War Nickel, Buffalo and a V in the same hunt. Would have been nice to find a Shield Nickel too? lol

    Thanks for the info Tim. thumbsup01 &quot would most more than likely be for Dubuque... the town where it was found. Dubuque Dog Tax. This beats my earliest dog tag by 22 years. <:
