I got my first "Three Cent Nickel" today! I've been wanting to find one of these for a long time, I was hitting on low conductors today trying to find some gold and it VDI'd at 8 pretty much consistent. It is either an 1867 or 1887, there were only about 5,000 87's made so I'm calling it a 67. I had a three silver day at this park about a month back (merc, barber & rosie). It's one of them hammered parks you have to listen for the faint signals. It was very deep.
