Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Took the day off to dirt fish. I went back to the site I hunted last Saturday with my Brother-In-Law. I re -detected the front yard since the leaves, nuts, and twigs were raked to the curb. Started on the side my B-I-L hunted. Pulled both silvers (42 Merc & 42P OD nickle):icon_thumleft: , a 1900 IHP, :icon_thumleft: four wheats (1940 x 2, 41, & 55), :icon_thumleft: a memorial, the token, :icon_thumleft: gold ring, :headbang: 3 buttons, pocket knife, brass drain plug, & the green oval thing in the picture. BOY I'M GLAD HE'S A ROOKIE :occasion14:

Then I went to the part I detected last week and pulled the 1904 V nickle, :icon_thumleft: 1929 Buffalo, :icon_thumleft: 1888 IHP,:icon_thumleft: 1916 wheat,:icon_thumleft: a lead seal, 3 sinkers, cut bullet, a NY City Button Works military button,:icon_thumleft: a memorial and the clad quarter was a surface find.

The Spoon handle, pocket watch and threaded silver looking piece came from the side yard.

This has been the best front yard I have ever hunted (virgin grounds). :notworthy:

Wow LD...I would be happy with what you found today from a yard, but when you add in the other hunt, that's just phenomenal.
 

Way-To-Slay, Loco! Is your combat-damaged gold ring plated, hard to tell in the photo? Always cool to find, and the coins are great. Congrats, Sub8-)

Thanks OD, I thought of you as soon as I pulled that 1942P.

It's gold alright, missing a piece, but still stoked:headbang: It has taken me 16 months to find a gold ring.
 

That looks like a good full day of goodies. That is incredible! You must have been on cloud nine when it ended. A very satisfying day for sure.
 

Great hunt!!!! Yea, virgin lawns are always exciting... if you get the chance, try to find the rest of that ring.. gotta be nearby, if it got whacked by a mower blade... as always..nice hunt Loco!
 

Nothing better than taking off work to go treasure hunt. Great job :icon_thumright:
 

Killer hunt Loco! I do the same thing when I find a war nickel. Lol Old Dude is going to be famous. [emoji4]
 

One seriously great hunt- congrats!!

Congrats on the gold, dude!! And I can't imagine what your keeper coin collection looks like at this point, but I imagine buckets are involved. :)
 

I forgot to mention that the V-Nickle was a bucket lister. I was so tickled about the trifecta.
 

Nice JOB Loco, A buffalo nickel. My white whale, I see so many people finding them. Congrats buddy! HH!
