Went out to a well hunted park yesterday and picked up a dime trifecta. The Roosie came out as I was leaving the park swinging my loop. Not a great signal. I guess it was the Buffalo and Jefferson that was in the hole with it.

Also got out a couple of other places recently. Last Saturday hit a different park and came up with the silver ring, Barber dime, V nickel and 1866 Metropolitan Insurance token. Ended up with 21 pieces of silver for the week. Not bad for a couple of parks that have been hunted for decades.

Last, but not least, got out to the woods for a little bit and got a Rossie and this tiny silver little book that says I love you. It was in pieces. Glad I checked the hole carefully or I would have come home without all of it.

Looks like you had a few good hunts DB. I love old tokens, just as much as I like old coins. It sure is nice when they are dated.
 

Congrats on the silver trifecta. Looks like a nice overall hunt.

I know what you mean. Most of the nickels I dig up are toasted. Picked up 9 shield nickels so far this year and a bunch of V nickels. They're all pretty toasted, some a little bit less so.
 

Can't believe I forgot to put the photo of the Indians up. The 1876 is a semi key date.

Nice saves Don. 21 silvers in a week is great, you got the knack for finding the oldies that were missed over the years.

Thanks. I think it's a combination of the CTX 3030 and going real slow. I'm digging those signals that don't read quite right, but keep coming back with a signal. The Roosie in the hole with 2 nickels read more like a pull tab, but not quite. Yes, I do end up digging pull tabs and iron, but if you want the good stuff I think you have to.
 

Very cool finds, I'd love all those.
 

Congratz! Your week was better than my year.
 

You are SILVER HOT!!!
Way to go Don,, Congrats on some excellent finds
