Copious Quantities of Crusty Coins

[Tony Two-Cent]

Yesterday I went back to a fairly large school grounds that I have hunted several times. I found 4 wheat cents, a 1923 Buffalo Nickel, a 1954-D Roosevelt and a 1944 Washington Quarter.

Today I met up with BruceT, Digger Don and Digger Al for some detecting in a few old parks. Today I found an 1888 Indian Head, 3 wheat cents, an 1887 V Nickel, a 1936 Buffalo Nickel, and a 1942-P War Nickel.

BruceT even bought us all lunch! What a guy! Now if we could only get him to post on the forum instead of just lurking. :lol:
Here are my finds from this weekend:
6298862993629976299162992
629956299462996



At first I thought this V Nickel was dated 1897 but now that I look at it closer I think it's actually 1887.
62989




And the "relics":
62990



Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

Nice finds Tony. I like the coal scatter tag and King Kong too! No rain here for over 3 weeks so no MDing for me. Best wishes and HH, Dave,

Nice ape.:lol: Love the 13D wheat. When I started detecting and I found an old green wheat like that, you could just tell it was going to be old. :smitten:Nice couple of days out Tony!!

[Digger Don]

You had a great day Tony, Some really good finds, especially the V nickel :groovy:. As always, it was a pleasure hunting with you.
hope we can get another hunt in this year.
You forgot the best find of the day, the walnut the squirrel dropped on your head.:hystericallaugh:

Fantastic 2 days worth of finds you got there Tony :thumbsup02:

[aloldstuff]

Tony, as usual a great group of old coins. The 13 D wheat is fantastic along with the IH. The key looking item, do you think that it went to a toy such as a toy car???

Nice try on getting Bruce T past the lurking stage....:lol:

[MangoAve]

Guess you are one of the guys who don't ignore the nickels. :lol: and for good cause. I like the green of the 1888 IH although I can't see pix on the comp I am typing this... Free meal? Nice. You coulda paid with what you found and it still be a free lunch... :hystericallaugh:

Be careful if you go back to that park, those squirrels are dangerous! :lol:
