Nickle Trifecta ?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

I was going to meet up with 007,but I overslept this morning...The wife was up before me at 7:15 or so..........Uh Oh.......She would not let me leave till I did some HoneyDo's & ran some errands for her.....I finally got out to an Ole Chicago Park (where I picked up those Nickles & a barber yesterday) about 3:30........and hunted till almost 8:00.
No silver for me today,as I have been pounding the same spots me GOIO,T-MAN,and Etrac007 have been hunting,Over -And- OVER...I think we pretty much cleaned out the silver from that small part of the park....B U T......
There are still a few ole stragglers (I.H.'s,wheats,& Nickles around....)
I found a 1931d wheatie,yesterday,{Too bad it isn't an 'S' m.m.}but the "D" is still worth a few bucks as there were only 4.5 million made , and found another today....2 V Nickles,a Buffalo Nickle....5 Jefferson's (only 1 before 1960)...It is a 1947d........Can I count that as a Trifecta ?....While everyone else was into their penny collection...I had started a Jefferson Nickle collection 15 years ago....I still horde pre 1960 jeffs....It is still hard to fill some of the Jefferson slots,getting them threw the bank or even finding them detecting......Also got an 1898 I.H,and 9 wheats. ....................H. H.
I am playing with trying to clean the Nickles with Lime-Away.....I will post them when I have finished cleaning.

Great hunt once again Dave! It's amazing that you say these areas are picked clean of silver with all of the wheaties you are finding. It's never hunted out!

McNickel!

Nice finds!!!

I hope you pick up some gold while you're digging those 5 centers!

McNickel, great finds! Again, I cannot help but admire your knack for scoring those deep old nickels. McNickel, maybe some day we can eat McNuggets from McDonald's, all the while discussing nickel-digging.

I'll bet you were wondering what you would have found if you didn't over-sleep

Great hunt!. . . and nice Nickels

Ever try salt and vinegar? Check out the nickels below. My soil is murder on anything except gold and silver so I couldnt tell you how well it works on a "good" nickel. Check out the pics below of some nickels I found last week. I got another v and buff in the juice now.

I used Vinegar and salt a few times,and I like the color they turn dug Nickles....What I don't like is that they pit nickles....Or take away the rust deposit......I just cleaned & posted some V's,and a Buffalo nickle that I cleaned using a method TreasureFiend suggested.....Lime-Away followed by Baking soda...............Maybe I will try using V & S after cleaning a dug nickle with Lime-Away & see how the combination of 2 methods works together....Of coarse I will neutralize and Rinse between methods....Thanks for the suggestion.
