!!!My First Oldie!!!

[coltdavis]

Well i got a late start today and decided to hit up a local modern park, found a few dollars in clad which was nice paid for my batteries lol. It was starting to get dark when i decided to hit up the park at the end of my street, on an old map of my city i can see there used to be a couple homes there. I got to the park just before dark got a signal and dug a memorial. The next signal i got hit the Nickel mark a few times in a row then would hit pulltab once and then nickel again i decided this would be my last dig of the night because of the light, cut a plug flipped it open and at the bottom of the hole sat a nickel i couldn't see anything on it so i grabbed my cell phone to use it for some light and could make out a V on the back. WOOHOOO i had just dug my first old coin. I just sat there and stared at it lol i was pretty happy to say the least. Rinsed it off when i got home and seen the date 1905 was hoping for a late 1800's but im not complaining lol haven't cleaned it really yet just rinsed it in person it looks like it still has some pretty good detail left.

Keep your coil on the ground and your machine on, and the old ones will keep coming.....and coming.
