Third Bucketlister of the Year!

[Ill Digger]

I met up with a fellow detectorists yesterday almost 3 hours south of me for a hunt. We found a street tear out in town while driving around. I was detecting in front of a very old church where the sidewalks were torn out and already replaced. I was detecting the sidewalls of the cut along the sidewalk when i got a 14-15 signal on the Nox. I was expecting anything special. Thats when I first layed eyes on my very first 3¢ coin!! And it's the nickel variety!! Now I need one of the silver ones!

Thanks for lookin!! HH!! :groovy:

1868 3¢ Nickel
68429
Reverse:

Congrats on a very scarce find! I found one, also at a tear out, about 7-8 years ago, no idea it would be a coin at the time!

Such a difficult coin to find with a metal detector! They ring up so low they sound like junk. Huge congrats on that rare find, Tim!

Thanks Tony! Yeah, 14-15? That in the "half of a pulltab" range as far as target ID goes. :lol: But in places like that, that's why we dig everything right!

Yeah, when I first seen it in the dirt i thought maybe a token or a knock out of some sort. But when i wiped the dirt off and see lady liberty facing left i knew right away what it was. I was like...:shocked05:


Great find Tim! 3 hours south of you puts you in my old stomping grounds! Thanks Dave!! Yeah, kinda. We met in Champaign. They are redoing Green st. And we found the tearout just driving around. You know how it goes.


Awesome find! Probably the hardest coin to detect in my opinion. Big congrats!!
Thanks Jared! Yeah, if this was a deep scrathy signal in a trashy park, it would probably still be buried there! :lol:
