Return To The Old Country Store ...

[JimBeHuntin']

I made a return trip to the old country store site on Monday afternoon for a two hour hunt. This is the same site where I found my first V nickle about a week ago. It was a beautiful afternoon ... sunny and 75 degrees. I worked an area of the field that doesn't get as much detecting as some of the others and it paid off. I found 5 wheat cents (only one with a readable date ... 1926), 1 buffalo nickle (no date), 1 unknown cent but probably a wheat but worth checking (very thin and crusty that I've got soaking in peroxide), a nice dog tag from 1940, a square nail, a buckle, a lead ball, and a couple of whatzits. It was a good hunt and an enjoyable afternoon. By the way ... a fellow detectorist worked this same site on Sunday and found one coin ... a very nice 1910 V Nickle with good detail on it. There have been many nice coins pulled from this site over the years. Last year I found a beautiful 1908 Barber Half and my hunting buddy dug several mercs and V nickles.

Very cool finds! Wish those nickels held up better in the soil though! Still nice to find a buffalo in the ground!


Congrats!

Way to go Jim. Hope you find some more old coins at that site; you have probably tried it when its real wet out? Signal intensity sure picks up when its really wet. Too bad they didn't inset the date on those Buffalo's. Keep diggin!
