1st Hunt of 2009

[FooserPaul]

Hello ALL!

Well its been in the 50's here in CT for the last 3 days and the ground was in decent shape today for the areas that was getting sun all day so I hit a local closed school that was build in 19teens... I'd been there dozens of times... but continue to find goodies :-)

I got home and changed by 4:20... school is 5 minutes awy... sunset is @ 5:30... do I go?? ABSO-FREEKIN-LUTELY! :-)

Ground Balance, set Sens to 19... Noice Cancel.... put coin down.... Signal... jumping from 8-44... Dig and out pops a '43P 40% Silver War Nickle...

Within 5 minutes... another jumpy 8-14 signal... I pull out another nickle and can clearly see... and Indian Head... and a DATE 1936 ! :-)

I dug another 3 nickles, 1 dime and 10 memorials + 1 Wheaty...

Its going back down to 35 tomorrow and they are calling for snow this weekend :-( I am so so so praying for spring!

Happy that I got out for an hour and fifteen minutes tonight and got 2 keepers...

Happy Hunting!
Paul

I thought about it, but that's as far as I got. Good for you. Still a bunch of snow in my area.

Boy you sure did make the most of your time! Buffalo's are a great find, let alone the fact you found one with a DATE! Congrats!

Was the XTerra more stable on the other nickle readings by chance

 

[FooserPaul]

Yes the XT70 definately had a narrower swing on TDI numbers on th Buffalo vs. the 40% silver one...

Nice finds, my X-terra usually doesn't jump around much on nickels, they always seem to come up at 10-12.
