I picked up a 12 inch coil for my DFX hoping to go back over some of my favorite hunted out spots and pick up some "deepies" that my stock coil missed.
Well,the nickel came from the same one room schoolhouse site as my Abe Lincoln knife and New Jersey copper,but was just under the surface no deeper than an inch so that's one i just must have missed. This version was only minted in 1866 and 67 with the rays between the stars on the reverse. I believe its the 67 but only the 18 and 6 are clear. Tiny tiny dates on these coins!
The 1864 two center came from a cellarhole that has produced some Indians and a beautiful 1865 two center earlier this summer. Only about 4-5 inches deep though so my 12 inch coil really hasn't proved itself ...yet
I was pretty excited when i cleaned the 64 enough to see the date but it turns out to be the more common large motto version...
Thanks for havin a look and HH,
