17 hours hunting fields..42 cents total...1868 Shield nickel

[Goes4ever]

wow this weekend was tough on finds. You may look at my picture and not think so. But that is for 17 hours of hunt time!

Friday night after work I hit a field I hunted last week for 3 hours. I got a wheat, 1908 V nickel and 1959 rosie.

Saturday I hunted for 8 hours in some different fields, I got wheats, crotal bell, 1901 indian, sterling ring, 1959 rosie, and old lipstick tube.

Sunday (today) I hunted a different field for 6 hours and managed 2 wheats, 2 indians, 1890 and 1879, (takes me to 112 indians for the season!) and the find of the whole weekend....a 1868 shield nickel! It is my first one this year. I was absolutely thrilled to get it, to me it was worth the whole 17 hours.

So in 17 hours I got 42 cents total, and a real nice sunburn on the back of my neck. We have had unseasonably WARM weather for October in Ohio. been in the 80's all weekend.

Real nice finds Terry !

I'd be willing to hunt for 17 hrs. if I could find a Shield Nickel - I've found a bunch of V's - but not one single Shield Nickel.
