Hi folks been awhile since I been on here but did have some good luck over the week. Didn't have a chance to detect some area I wanted to because of the rain and the holiday. I live in a small town just North of CB/Omaha area and I had to stop for gas after work. Walk in grabed a Mt Dew to drink and pay the lady for the gas. After handing her a $30.00 she gave my change back and I walked off. After a 15 min. ride to town and change rattling in my pocket which I hate. I took the change out and put them in my change jar when I got home. As I was looking at the change I noticed 2 different looking Nickels so turned them over and looked for the dates and saw it said 1867 and the other 1927 both in VG condition. Wow Im thinking you just dont get change like this no more. Sorry no pics camera is missing.

Very nice IA. You found my avatar, and only 22 miles from where I found mine, except mine was 5 inches deep. Hope you guys are doing OK with this rain we had. I know last year sure was a mess. Congrats on the finds. JJ

Big congrats! I found a silver rosie the other day in my change from Walmart and while walking back to my car in the dark, I dropped it, but could not find it anywhere. They were doing construction in the parking lot and the lot lights were removed so I was completely unable to find it in the dark. :(

Now that sucks :( but hey maybe later you get a better one but this time keep in your pocket till you get home LOL. I did have a good day at work though found a old 8" artillery round that someone threw away as junk. Talk about a scare from someone getting back from Iraq. Ill get a pic up soon.
