I had about 3 hours to hunt this morning before we have to head out of town, so I decided to return to the spot where I have been finding all the nickels. We are enjoying unusually pleasant weather here for December, partly sunny and in the 50s.
Once again this site didn't disappoint. I can tell that the finds are becoming less frequent, but it still amazes me that there are still coins to be found after I've pounded it so hard.
Only one Buffalo this time, but three V Nickels! As the signals get more scarce I am finding myself digging the more questionable ones, and the V Nickels were deep with signals that were bouncing all over the place. However, if I saw numbers in the 12-13 range even for a brief second, I dug.
This makes 10 Buffalo Nickels I have found at this site, and 5 V Nickels. The Barber Dime was a nice surprise, it's only the second one I have found at this spot.
All in all it was a very fun 3-hour hunt!
Sorry for the quality of these photos, the battery in my camera is going dead, and it makes the color off. We're getting ready to leave so I don't have time to redo them.
Today's finds: Not as much quantity but still some nice oldies.
The three V Nickels, dated 1890, 1907 and 1908:
Only one Buffalo this time, plus a war nickel:
And the 1916 Barber Dime:
