Have been getting a little disappointed as I haven't hit a silver coin in a few months! Today I stopped by a farm that I have passed many times and decided to finally just ask. The old guy was in the feed shed and I started shouting and waving my arms about 30 yards away but he wasn't hearing me - I kept shouting and waving my arms until I was just 15 feet away but figured he must have been pretty deaf so I stopped where I was behind the electric pole a bit (in case he was to get startled and be a shoot first kind of person) but kept yelling and he finally turned around. He jumped back a couple feet and almost fell down before he realized what was going on! He composed himself and started laughing so I took a breath finally! I gave him my little talk and he was real happy to tell me all about the farm - for about 20 minutes but in the end he said go right ahead. He warned me that the ground was full of metal and told me about the little tin of buffalo nickels he found years ago and pointed out where I might find stuff and that he had a 'tector but not the patience to get through all the metal signals. I only had an hour this time and I only found 2 wheats, a '49 nickel and the 1943 quarter. He said I could come back anytime even if he wasn't there. Is the '43 a double die or just a thick date? There was a old nail with it that gave the rust bits.
