Pull tab signal yields BIG Silver!

[jewelseeker]

I went back to my favorite park. I have hunted this park hundreds of times. When I found the small lead toy I figured that would be my best find of the day. Then I got another pull tab signal. I find two types of pull tabs in this park with the smaller ones having a jumpy reading on the AT Pro of 52-54. The larger ones read a jumpy 61 to 64. The signal I got was somewhere in between. I decided to dig the target sure it would be another pull tab. When I saw silver in the hole my first thought was that it was an aluminum token. Much to my surprise it w as big silver. A barber half-my first! With the signal so weird I checked the hole again and found a buffalo. I closed the hole and rechecked for signals. I still had a mid tone and I knew it was another nickel. The buffs were 1913 type II plain and a 1916 D. Awesome spill! A great 2 hour hunt!

Sweet barber half and two of the nicest buffalo's I've ever seen dug. I got a buffalo yesterday I can barley make out the outline of the buffalo and can only read "five cents". As far as big silvers, all I ever found was a Franklin. I can't even find my first Walker.
Congrats on some killer finds!!

I actually clean my nickels with an SOS pad. Since they come out of the ground looking so bad I figure it can't hurt. I have taken nickels that looked to have no detail on them and scrubbed them with a Brillo pad and it is amazing how much detail I get.

The nickels have pretty strong dates as they were most like not in circulation very long. I have found several 1918 coins from the time period of the old amusement park.

I dig a lot of pull tabs but sometimes I just get tired and stop. This is what keeps me digging those darn things.

Here's my buffalo from yesterday which pretty much looks like my typical buffalo I dig. A good scrubbing can't do much harm, so I think I'll give your method a try.

I looked at your nickel. I actually think it has a lot of detail and you will be amazed when you clean it. You may even get a date. Good luck.

Awesome spill! Congrats on the Barber Half!

Nice! That Barber half is a fantastic find!
Also amazing how nice those Buffalo nickels shined up! My method to clean nickles is to scrub them with brillo as well, I also add some sodium carbonate (washing soda) to help in the cleaning too.

The modern pull tap in SA on the AT is a 54/55 and the older pulll ring 60/67,so if your hunting gold your digging every signal .Pulltabs in general have a slightly higher pitch and dont pinpoint a sharply

Congratulations on the barber half and early Buffalos, awesome coins.

Big congrats on the big silver. Barber half dollars are not that common coming out of the ground.
