Got the dual field yesterday after being in the shop for a month got got out to the beack and was hunting in chest deep water deciding to only dig the soft sounds due to all the aluminum just under the surface.got my 83rd gold ring for the year and my first hobo nickel dated 1929 I always wanted one of these after seeing pictures of them but never thought I'd find one. Im pretty excited about it .I see there's more GW buttons and Gold coins posted than these..are these that rare to find? Looking foward to everyone's input
Thanks
Kent

Banner find all day long!
 

great finds, congrats.
 

I agree with Jeff, but, what the heck? Someone's got to find'em! Glad it was you! :occasion14:
 

Hobo nickels are really interesting, many different designs people have made. Quite interesting on how to do and some great pictures if you haven't taken the time to see what some have done to coins using their carving abilities.

Super find!!
