Old nickels #'s 40 & 41 and indian head cent #23 for the year.

The old park still gives up a few but it takes a lot of effort. Park Pirate mentioned that I have pulled 1000 oldies out of this park so I checked and the total is now up to 1216 ! Dug V-nickel #10 for the year and Buffalo nickel #23. Park Pirate told me that the 1894 V-nickel is worth a couple bucks which is nice. Also dug a 1892 indian head cent (#23 for the year) which cleaned up nice after a peroxide bath.
