I can’t believe it guys in 3 years never even imagined find one, now in have two. It’s took a pot of coffee and 9 hrs to do it but it got done. This one is a 56 caliper and I also got 1943 P, 1942 S War Nickels. Same spot as last time. It was 10” down. What a feeling being that deep not to mention the Max hitting it with the stock coil. My Thunder coil doesn’t respond well at all on the Max not sure what the problem is. Couldn’t hit a silver dime at 6 inches....that’s a problem. But once again what a great day I’m truly blessed. I have a lot of work to do this week so I’ll be working and resting I’ll keep in touch if anything changes. IMG_1298.JPG IMG_1299.JPG IMG_1297.JPG IMG_1295.JPG

Great Job Man. & 2 War Nickles to boot.

"9 hours" That's puttin in the work, Adrenalin helps :laughing7:

I did 7 myself on Sunday , I knew there 'had' to be something there, cause I found stuff there in the past, I finally got my prize a Fired Squashed Minnie :headbang:; Still got that rush to.

"10" inches WOW ,That looks like some pretty dry soil also.
When the Stars line up & the Soil is right I can get them that deep, but 3-8 inches are where I dig most + I hunt woods Mostly so with-out farming or trenches , flood plain they usually don't get that deep.

P.S. I had 1 year I found 4 War Nicks 2014 I think , but have dug none since then , got some from Coin Star Machines.:happysmiley:

Ill shut up , Keep those Civil War relics & Silver Coming, I love coins to. :icon_thumleft:

Davers I’ve been hearing that more and more from a lot of people. I had no idea they were that scarce to find in some places. I get war nickels quite often I know this year I have over 10. Here the soil is either dry and brittle or when it rains it’s clay. So your plug usually crumbles apart especially when you have to check inside of it. Unfortunately I do my best and cover back every hole, but it normally looks like a Civil War hit the park when I leave. I’m just happy it’s a huge park. The adrenaline did kick in, but I never drank coffee my whole life until I started metal detecting and waking up extremely early. I’m telling you that coffee gets me flying like a crackhead. :laughing7

Yep,, you're on a roll.
Congratulations

Don’t you love when you’re running on all 8 cylinders. I’m enjoying it now because we all know how dry spells happen. Feast or famine.

Congrats on your finds. You better edit your post though, because they didn't make a War Nickel in 1941 (I see it is a 1943 from your pic). Heck, we didn't enter the war until Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 (a date that will live in infamy)

Thank you Steve I always have to wind up editing something. It’s been killing me that I can’t edit the title from “We” to “Well”.
