A Nickel Day To Remember!


Recommended Posts


Tometusns -- that is CRAZY!  I have NEVER dug a shield nickel, and you got three of 'em in one short hunt?!   SUPERB!!!

Were they good 12/13 signals?  Deep?

Thanks Steve! 

Old nickels that I've found have many 11's mixed in with the 12&13's.

Yes, I've seen some 11's mixed in, on some older ones.  

FWIW, I dug a 4" deep Jefferson nickel that was a perfect "12", and it's not the first time...

Incidentally, I also dug a 1" deep 1925 Merc, that read 25/26 in the ground...???  It air tests a solid 25... ??  I am CERTAIN I skipped over this coin, in the past, thinking it was a shallow penny!  ?

I've been back to the park twice hunting the same area. First trip some lead, a blank cartridge(it still had powder in it) and a trigger of some kind...the second trip zilch!!....lol. Going back and try a different area. Oh, my first shield ever came from this park.
