With all the other things going on in my life, my detecting time has diminished greatly. I decided however, that 30 minutes of hunting at lunch time was better than no hunting at all so I resumed my lunch hour hunts and after a few days of covering the park where I found the last war nickel my XP Deus hit on two cool coins:
The first was a 1919 Buffalo nickel. The Buffs I find usually don’t have a visible date but this one does so I will post about it. Because of the all iron nails at this park (don’t know why there are so many), this nickel came up as a square pull tab. The signal was sweet however and I opted to see what it was.
The second coin was a well worn 1899 Barber dime. This guy was mixed in with some aluminum foil so the signal was a warble of mid and high tones. Again, the sweetness of the high tones made me dig it.
I think this small park has many, many more coins and I aim to dig them all up. Wish me luck.
Thank you for looking!
