Well guys and girls I got up and went park at 6am this morning. I ground has been like cement for the last couple of weeks and it rained real good yesterday, so the ground was perfect. It’ll be raining all next week so I had to get that swinging in. I got 8 wheats and 5 V-nickels. 1895, 1900, 1902, 1904 and 1911. Dates all clear.

Funny thing about this park I’ve gotten over 40 V-nickels out the park in 3 separate areas, but only found 2 in on day the rest were singles in the 4 1/2 years I’ve been detecting, so 5 was truly mind blowing.

Even more mind blowing is I’ve only found 2 Buffalos there. This hobby keeps me wondering ALL THE TIME and catching my head. IMG_2912.JPG IMG_2913.JPG

Yeah I was muddy today my 800 had mud all over it. My hose was hooked up to my power washer and I was too lazy to unhook it, so the 800 came in the shower with me.

Is that weird? I was total comfortable lol

wow, that is amazing! Ive yet to find 1 V-nickel and you seem to find them like clad dimes. You obviously have a great area to detect in. Keep up the good work and sharing the finds with us. How deep are you finding them?

The park, or soccer field that's been a back-up spot for me, is weird and could never figure it out. I've raked literally hundreds of dollars of clad outa here. It's 15+ acres and have only pulled a few non-clad coins. There was a house here before 1900 per 1913 layover. So: $100's of clad, 1 1943 Walker, 192? Stander, 1 LC, NOT ONE silver dime or quarter besides the Stander and maybe 1 wheatie. All I can think is someone combed this place in the 70's, but I can't see them finding every silver dime. Idk, if anyone has a better theory, plz let me know. Thx, Ddf.
