Different city, different park - Same results !!!

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Park Pirate and I hit a park we haven't hunted in a few years in hopes of finding something other than Buffalo and V nickels. The park was void of any good high conductors. This place was full of pull tabs, beaver tails and iron. Not even any clad to be found. I dug 6 coins all morning. Two Buffalo nickels, two V nickles, a Jefferson nickel and one wheat cent. Somebody has cleaned out all the surface clad. Managed a couple pieces of jewelry also. Old nickel count now up to 61. V nickels #'s 19 & 20 and Buffalo nickels #'s 32 & 33 for the year. I setting my goal to get 80 old nickels before the ground freezes !

Your doing great on the nickels. Around here in Spokane they are all toasty after a few decades

I have a tough time with nickels. I'm not able to get down and dig as many targets as I would like and most of the time I dig nickels they're pull tabs. So I tend to pass them up saving the knees for potentially better targets. I would LOVE to find a buffalo nickel though so perhaps one day all I will dig are nickel signals and skip everything else.

A park with that many nickel signals, is a park that's hiding a gold ring or two. Nice finds
