I SHOULD CALL THIS PLACE NICKELVILLE

[against the wind]

I hopped on the train and headed out to a park that sits on land that was the site of a Revolutionary War Battle. This place has been used as a park for so long that the chances of finding Large Cents, Indian Head Pennies, and old Silver are excellent. That is the focus of most of the CTX swingers who patronize this park. They dig deep signals and usually ignore shallow targets, especially nickels.
My personal single day best is 89 nickels, and I matched that number again last year. My last 2 trips here gave me 38 and 13 nickels. Today was no different. I popped 25 more nickels out of the ground. In the last few years I have recovered 100's of nickels and that is no exaggeration. I have also pulled 4 or 5 pieces of gold but it doesn't happen that often.
With the sun out of the sky, I walked towards the park exit that would put me closest to my train, still swinging the coil. It is a good thing that I went to night school because I got a screamer. I was operating off the light of my pin pointer. I spotted a flash of silver and grabbed it. Out of the hole came a man's bracelet. When I got it home, I located the .925 on the lobster claw. Thought my silver coin drought was over, but this bracelet was a pleasant surprise,
My finds for the day were: Two $1 coins, 33q, 24d, 25n, 28 memorials, and 2 wheat pennies, (56 & 57d).

Your probably getting most of the nickels because a lot of the others don't bother to dig them. I always dig nickels. Others are passing up the Shields, V's, Buffs, & War Nickels. Keep 'em coming ATW.

Congrats ATW! Beautiful silver bracelet. I always wonder if a place was used as an Easter Egg hunt when I find a large number of same-type of coins, like your nickles. Folks put nickles in plastic eggs and kids trample them into the ground! Sub

Yes Nickelville would be a proper name. Most excellent hunt.

Nice finds ATW !!!! Congrats on the silver bracelet, it looks great!! BTW we dig our share of nickels there, looking for gold. Don finds lots of V and Shield nickels there. This summer I found a 12 gram 10K gold bracelet there digging those nickel signals. I have to admit you find a heck of a lot more nickels than me! HH

Sweet bracelet. Man you dug 1/10th of my annual nickels in one hunt. Gotta love those solid mid tones.
