On Father's day I went out hunting for a couple hours at a local school and came up with my first Indian Head penny. It was about 4 inches down in a plug that someone else cut, but apparently missed. Lucky me! It's in rough shape, but I'll take it.

Then yesterday June 20th I was granted permission to hunt at a local church. It was built in 1738 and I figured it had to hold some goodies. At about 7" I pulled out my first ever "V" nickel. The soil at the church is very sandy, so I bet the good finds are going to be very deep. I'll be back to get more! Enjoy!

Happy Hunting!

Nate
