Amazing condition Hobo Nickle found in the ocean and a gold ring

[plymouthian12]

Got the dual field back from repair yesterday. was working a beach out in chest deep water decided only to dig the faint sounds due to so much aluminium just under the surface.got my 83rd Gold ring for the year and a hobo nickel dated 1929 have seen pictures of these nickles and always hoped I would find one. What I have noticed is that you never see any posted on here, unlike GW buttons, Gold coins ect. So am I right that they are hard to find? Looking foward to everyone's input. Thanks

I can't find the image match you're referring to Stefen, maybe you can copy and paste the image or just say third row 5th image type of direction so we can have a look to see what you are seeing.

I'm well beyond good with it ! Like Erik , I too have been major Banner advocate for this one of a kind hand carved find ! I have not yet
seen that there has ever been a dug Hobo Nickel on T- Net (I've looked ) Even if there was, they certainly are a more scarce find than
gold coins (which make Banner all the time ) And they have the "historical relevance " factor going for them too - A niche in American
Folk Art History !

I agree it should have been..

The best is the one who has the treasure in hand and can say they found it. They can have the banner, it's just a stamp of recognition, I will take the treasure in hand anytime...
