Sunday Silvers

[Carolina Tom]

I went out hunting on Sunday morning. I hit several spots without much success, and was starting to feel sorry for myself. On the way home I decided to hit an old house site. It started out slow, obviously, I was not the first person to hit the place, as there were not many targets. After about 30 minutes, a '45 Mercury appeared, that got me going. Next good target was a nickel, covered in thick black tarnish, I chipped away the area by the date and, taa daa... 1945. War nickel. A few wheaties also showed up.

I also found a St. Anthony pendant, a DAV key return tag, a dog tag (name blocked out) and a 24 hour sobriety token. I have also generously included a bonus pic of a sweet Tootsie Toy that I dug last week.

YTD silver coins #51 & #52.

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

First Beverly Hillbillies Tootsie I have see, lol. Why is it everyone but me finds a War Nickel? Very nice finds Tom.

I think I've only ever found one war nickel in ten years ! Nice finds , Your luck should really be improving after finding St. Anthony ,
he's the Saint everybody prays to in order to find that which is lost !

I still have the two Tootsies from when I was a kid and that is one of them same color also.

Keep feeling sorry for yourself and you might hit 60 before year end. Thing about war nickels is that they can show up in a lot of the low conductor range. I can think of 4 different TID's I've seen for them. So getting one is sweet. I got to loosen up my coin pattern a little. HH JR

Not quite everyone, OD! I've not found a war nickel yet. I do know they hit higher then a regular nickel with the silver making them more conductive. So since I don't generally dig targets in that range I'll most likely not see one anytime soon. And that's why Tom finds not only war nickels, but lots of other cool stuff cause he digs a lot more targets.

HAHAHAHA! Findin' that Saints pendant on a Sunday Morning was probably the only thing that kept you from a big ol' lightin' strike! If that was me and I kept huntin' on Sunday morning I would buy me a brand new silver chain and hang that jewel around my neck!!! LOL!!! Give 'em hell Tom ,but you be careful!! MERRY CHRISTMAS! The Kid

 

[treblehunter]

Oh yeah, I found that same tootsie car too, forgot to tell ya, mine the wheels were gone.
