Hi Gang,
Well crazy man Jeff and I went to the big field again today. We just can't help ourselves. The weather was icy this morning and many here were on two-hour delays. We went to KFC first the digging about 1:00pm.
The fog and drizzle turned to rain but Jeff and I hung in there for 2 hours.
I was digging iffy signals in hopes of getting an old coin or ring. I got a +47 VDI, which should have been a large man's ring, so I dug but there was nothing in the hole. I used my Bullseye pinpoint and heard it beep on a spot on the wall of the hole. As I was getting ready to dig out something, I slipped on the wet grass and heard a coins scratching--sickening sound.
To my surprise, I dug a greenish/copper looking coin. It was hard to read but I made out--1889 Indian Head Cent (with a scratched back) and in poor condition. Hard to tell the feathers apart.
Later I got a +14-16 VDI and it turned out to be a Buffalo nickel. Sorry, but not date on it. Nickels seem to deteriorate really fast in this field. Maybe just that nickels do that.
