Father in-law and I went to a old park in Sedalia, Mo. Just down the block from his home, he was checking out his whites 6000 DI professional detector I bought for him on E-bay, got a real good deal on it and he's is as happy as you can get with it. He found a handful of clad both days, I found some clad a cheap ring and neclace a (what is it) but no silver, I know theres silver there but we didnt have alot of time so I kinda went quick through the whole park checking it out for some future hunting, at one spot across a small bridge I found this bufalo nickle about 6 inches deep, my first one

I posted a pick the other day of it and was asking for some info on cleaning it up, I used warm vinegar and salt, it helped a little but it seemed to make it even more pourous and dry, but I do see what I think is a date of 1923 so thats cool, the ground wasn't to kind to it though. Well it was good to get out and hunt anyway, now there is 6 inches of snow on the ground and its going to stay cold for awhile.

I have another surgery Mon the 2nd, going to remove 2 more disc or whats left of them in my neck and fuse and screw a plate in there, I had that done to my low back a couple of years ago. Damn if I knew this was what it was going to be like I would of took better care of myself. HA HA. Anyway good luck to you all and Ill be watching for some good finds from you while Im healing up.

I have heard of it but I dont even know what it is. I guess those pennies get that way from fertilizer. JYD

Nice finds there JYD, I thought the same thing about the pennies! Look like the ocean got ahold of them!

Nice digs there Junkyard. I sure have been seeing a lot of those valve stems being posted. Cool finds. Early 1900's Ford model. That will date a yard real quick like. Goodluck on the surgery. I hope for a quick recovery for you.
