A Silver Nickel and a Big Old Canadian

[washingtonian]

Hey folks!

Getting my last couple hunts of the 2019 season in this weekend. It’s been a really fun year. I’m looking forward to doing my year end wrap up soon.

I got out for a few hours this morning to a spot I spied on Google Maps last week while out hunting. Turned out to be a good little spot!

My second hit of the day was the Cracker Jack Token at 2 inches. I was happy to get another war nickel too. I seem to have found a good amount of those recently. It’s so strange to me how they seem to have no consistent tone on the CTX. Sometimes they ring between 12.11-12.13 and other times like 12.22-12.24. It’s bizarre. I just have to be in a good mood for digging low tones if I want to have a shot at finding them.

My favorite highlight of the day is the Canadian Large Cent. Perhaps not a super valuable coin but I love old Canadian coinage and rarely find it. I’m super happy to have it. Anyways, here’s the complete haul and tally!






-43-S War Nickel
-1915 King George V Canadian Large Cent (only my second Canadian Largie ever!)
-John Quincy Adams Cracker Jack Token
-Marble
-2 Canadian Young Liz pennies
-12 wheats (oldest are 30-S and 37).
- A piece of an old kid’s cap gun
-What I believe are the mangled remains of a toy car

Thanks for looking as always folks, I really appreciate it and all the support and love from the TNet community.

Nice new spot, you were way busier than I was today.

I've also only found 2 Canadian Largies, 1888 & 1904.

Nice digs. I have the exact same reactions to war nickels on my metal detector as well. I've had them read all over the meter, they come up as foil, pulltab, nickel, dime, and penny. Not sure why but they are always a nice surprise when digging one up.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I'm sure I've missed many over the years by accidentally skipping them.
