A 1943 nickel! Went to an old grade school lot that Is my go to spot for quick clad. I take the grandkids there for the quick rewards. Today I pull up to my parking spot to find a 4 ft dead rat snake covered in flys. The smell was great too. Did I mention this is in town?
I carry on with the task at hand digging my usual foil and pull tabs, but today I have heightened enthusiasm due to some new information from a friend. He told me his dad 80 something. Used to play football there and some church ladies would sell hot dogs for 5 cents.
Sure enough, under a pull tab the Pro pointer alerts me to more goodies! My first nickel! The info must be correct. I continue on and fine 2 wheaties 1934 and one I still can't make out the date. Might not be too exciting for you seasoned hunters but I'm pretty excited.
The fact that my friend leaked out such privileged information is pretty unusual for around here. That ranks right up there with giving directions to the best fishing hole or mushroom hot spot (morels that is)
The most exciting thing I brought home from todays outing is yet a better understanding of my 250 with success at 6".
Happy Hunting!!

I didn't think anyone would be too interested in the nickel and 2 wheaties. I did think about taking a picture of the snake tho!!

Sounds like you need to go back and dig more pull tab signals! Very nice finds! Hey I still get excited digging wheaties. You never know when that wheat penny might be a key date!

Ma, I can promise you, when I find a wheat, it's a good dig to me! It tells me I have found something other diggers have missed and that eventually I'm going to find something really good. Just keep on believing the next dig is the one! Good luck and keep a sense of humor.
