I haven't been posting much lately spending more time hunting. Although this is not a monumental find it is sort of my first silver coin spill. Very near dark last night I pulled a plug on a good sold repeatable signal and found a pair of war nickel staring back at me. Also found a 1943 Washington quarter that is very well worn.

Hope everyone has a great day. Good luck and happy hunting.

Hey, nice spill Beez! Tom told me last time you found a war nick, you said you wished I was there lol. Did you think of me again while you were posting these? Keep the pressure on those guys. I know you all have a friendly competition going.

That makes three war nickels in the last 5 days... impressive. You must have a special war nickel program. Please forward that to OD when you get a chance. Congrats on the double!

Nice finds beez..

I found a 61 Rosie and 44 Merc today which brings my silver coin total to 50 FTY. I found a total of 61 last year so as I better learn the Deus and now that I've stopped using Basic 1 I seem to be finding more. It helps that I've dropped 17 pounds and am digging more targets too.

I actually did think of you OD. Last year Tom found probably 4 or 5 war nickels and I gave him a hard time about counting them in his silver coin totals. Reason was that I was not able to find a single one. This year however I've found 5 I think and AM counting them towards my silver coin totals. The two in the hole had a TID near what an IH penny would hit on my machine. Since the house was built in 1900 I dug it hoping for an IH penny. Had the house been 20 years newer those coins would probably still be in the ground.

Not much of a competition at this point but there's a lot of 2015 left!

That will get your heart pumping. War nickels are all over the place. The way magnesium decays I believe. I have found them from just above nickel to low copper range. There is a lot of the year left and the summer heat is coming. Still time for Smittyman to come from behind but you are pulling away. Both Steve and I love the heat. Its a Southern thing.
