Headed back to the same area of the park where I scored the 5 keepers from yesterday. No silver today but was pleased to dig 5 Indian head cents and a buffalo nickel. The top center indian head was a three coin sandwich with the 1891 indian head, 1911 wheatie and a still unidentified wheatie stuck to the reverse of the indian head cent. That was my third multiple coin find of the weekend. Other indian heads are two 1906s, a crusty 1887, 1896 and 1898. The 6 coins from today and yesterday's 5 got me to my goal of 100 keepers for the year. Breakdown of the 100 coins is:1 capped bust half dime, 4 Barber dimes, 2 silver Washington quarters, 3 silver Roosie's, 9 mercury dimes, 1 Canadian silver dime (1871),13 V-nickels, 22 Buffalo nickels, 5 Jefferson "War nickels", 37 indian head cents, 2 Canadian large cents and 1 unidentifiable colonial copper. Wheat cent total for the years stands at 170.
