Well managed a fews hrs of hunting betwwen the rain drops this weekend, hit a couple of parks and playgrounds they were pretty picked over all ready. But they didnt get it all, I hit a nice 1936 buff nickel at one park and at another park which I saw fresh plugs going down the sleddin hill, I hit a 1947 nickle about 3 ft from a chip pit and 2 inches down. HH to all was thinking about ya zee while the 70 was singing that sweet song lol..
The buff must have been a real fresh drop it wasnt deep at all must have come out of a kids pocket. I found a euro 2 cent piece a few inches from the buff the 2 cent piece had a mark on it but as you can see the buff is clean.
If you look in the main pic, the 3rd nickel down the silverish one is that 1947 nickel that i found at about 2 - 2 1/2 inches down it looked better than the newer nickels I found
I went out on the 25th Jan. found a 1935 buff in the woods under some leafs that was only down about 3' . It was so tarnished that I couldn't even read the date till I soaked and scrubbed for a while. I also found a merc there that was black, mistook it for a wheat at first. Must be the Virginia soil conditions.
I guess I have been lucky so far all the older nickles ( 30s- 50s) I have hound have been in good shape most of the nasty and reds ones I have found are the newer ones. just dont make they way they use to LOL. HH to all
