Hi all,
I managed today to get out after Easter Services for 2 hours prior to thunderstorms down here. My first Keeper made me laugh -- a silver war nickel (45-p), my fifth for the year. Then I pulled another Nickel, a V nickel, 1904 --- Alright :headbang: my 4th of those for the year. Then I pulled a Buffalo (later after cleaning saw it had super legible date -- 1935) - My 7th of those. I was thinking if I could pull a shield I'd have a grand slam. Instead my next nickel signal was a 1947 Jeff (I guess you could say I had a grand slam of sorts... V, Buff, Silver Jeff, Nickel Jeff). I wasn't done with my nickels, I then pulled a 2nd war Nickel, 1942-P (wow I'm up to 6 of those now...). My day wasn't over, but it was for Nickels... My final signal, just as thunder was erupting sounded so much like it was going to be a quarter (it was 12-47 solid), ended up being a 1941-d Mercury dime. Up to 20 silvers on the year...

Hope everyone had a happy Easter Weekend, and thanks for looking...

Any opinion on the V? Leave it as is or Sauce it? Kind of cruddy, wonder if Sauce would bring out more detail

I'm leaving the Buffalo as is, it is pretty in current state.

My God!! You are really smoking on nickels :thumbsup: And the silver's along for the ride too!
 

Easter bunny was good for you, eh Jon?!
Nice nicks!
 

Nice nickel day. It's too bad nickels have such a hard time in the ground, except for war nickels.

Your having some great hunts this year. Great job on the nickels, I still can't find any all screw off caps.
 

Great hunt, congrats!!! :icon_pirat:
 

Hey Jon, you should have known you were going to have a great MD'ing season after finding a Gun. Then loads of silver, and all those nickels, WTG.
 

I don't know how you do it. I've pulled V's, Buffs, & pull tabs galore, but have only managed to find one war nickel.

Nice finds!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
