Hi everyone!! Headed up north to see my kids for their birthday and do some diggin'. Pulled quite a few goodies, as 2 of the sites I had my eye on didn't disappoint!!

Goodies are listed below.

George V copper cent (1) : 1920

George VI copper cents (7; not pictured) : '40, '45, '46, '49, '51, '52, and one w/ the date obscured by hard crust

wheats (2; not pictured) : '19, '45

1918 buffalo nickel (only 1" deep!!)

1882 indian (toasted; I nicked it :BangHead: )

Now for the silver:

George V sterling silver 5 cent piece (only my 2nd "fish scale") 1919

George V silver dimes (2) : 1916, 1920

George VI silver dime 1940

Aaaaaand the granddaddy of 'em all:

14k nugget ring!!! HONKER!! HEAVY!!

Pics are below. I'm now at 18 silver coins and 7 indians for the year (the 1882 is the 2nd oldest one I've ever dug).

The gold ring was only about 1 1/2 inches down; blip signal that I almost didn't dig...

EDIT: Oops!! Forgot about the small piece of old pottery I dug as well. It's a nice relic.
