I went back to the spot I went yesterday and I found two wheat pennies one unidentifiable and one 1918, a sterling ring, a half of a soldier, a beautiful big marble and my first nickel spill 2 1927 Buffalos (my first two readable buffs)and a 1905 V nickel, of course they we underneath a million roots. I definitely learn to always check, recheck and check again with all metal because that’s exactly how it went down. Good day today.

Pretty nice finds on the nickels and sterling, congratulations. Poor machine gunner must've took a direct hit.

I don't recall ever digging a trio of old Nickels. Good on you mate. Very nice plug there! Silver rings are always a nice surprise. I don't think I have found one this year. Old lead toys are cool as are the eyeballed marbles. That's some wonderful therapy you had today buddy!:headbang:

I swear I see it in your future. pa-dirt it’s been very strange I’ve gotten more v nickels than Buffalo this year. Didn’t that Buffalo feel great!!!Practice your mid tones that’s where the nickels and the GOLD are. Always always keep swinging.

Sweet hunt. Finding 2 early Buffalos with readable dates is quite rare. Always great to find silver but I think the Marble is the find of the day.

It is amazing how those nickels run to the tree roots to die. Found my first beefalo under a tree and a gazillion jeffies too. Always under the trees. I wonder if it is because nickels are heavier and tend to gravitate out of boys pockets while they were swinin by their knees from the trees?

Congrats on some very cool finds. Your soldier appears to be a home-cast WW1 doughboy, prone machine gunner. I can't find him in any of my references, sorry, but he was probably from the 1920's-30's. Happy Hunting, Sub 8-)
