Howdy Folks. Been either too hot, too wet, or too cold to hunt much. I wandered around my neighborhood just a few feet from my home. I got the 1929 wheat penny in one of my neighbor's properties. I thought I was going to get a big silver when I popped the big aluminum token coin. It represents Louis Lincoln Emmerson who was born December 27, 1863 and died February 4, 1941. He was running for Secretary of State here in Illinois in 1916 so this token must be from 1916. He won the election and eventually went on to be our Governor. I went across the street to our local church which I have literally hunted over 100 times since I moved here in 2009. All I get these days are really iffy signals at best. Well I decided to dig one and began pulling iron nails out of the hole. After about three nails I stuck my little Nel Snake coil down into my huge plug hole and got a repeatable signal off to the side. I recovered the 1888 V nickel and thanked the Lord for giving me such a cool place to hunt right across the street from my home. The detail on the V is excellent. One of my best V nickels for certain and a fairly rare year as well. I also got another 1946 wheat penny from the church. The church was hit pretty hard back in the analog days before I ever hunted it but, I have still managed to get some nice old coins from that place. I know there's a few more left and will continue to hunt there as long as I live here. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1
