Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Went back to a site Saturday evening that has had some good activity from the mid 40's til present.
The place has been hit so hard with detectors I have only found one wheat cent there and nothing else from that
date range.
I only had an 1&1/2 hours after work, so I detected until the sun set. Even had the backlight on the machine.
So, I started digging mid-tone signals, and was pulling out nickels pretty consistently.
Ended up scoring a '43 War Nickel.

Happy Huntz all!

Great score on the war nickel :thumbsup: I always welcome nickel signals cause a lot of the gold rings I've found have read just like them.
 

Sweet finds
 

Those things are like Unicorns!! Always happy to see one pop out myself!
 

Nice digs...I like that eagle...
 

it's been years since I found a war nickel
 

Cool find. I have to make myself listen in that range sometimes when I am horn dogging after silver. Early on in my hunting career, it was a goal to dig nickels. Still love to hear that sweet low tone.
