Thanks Lance. Maybe someday I'll find some gold!LFarthing42 said:Most of my spots don't have many wheat cents or other coins left but I have resorted to digging a lot of can slaw and did find a little 10k gold wedding band.LFarthing42 said:Most of my spots don't have many wheat cents or other coins left but I have resorted to digging a lot of can slaw and did find a little 10k gold wedding band.
Keep up your hard work. Nice finds and congratulations on a very tough slam!

I'm ready to hammer that field B-Rad...and thanks.Big Digger said:Congratulations on your "penta slam" as somebody stated
We will find some gold sooner or later. At least I hope we do!
Let's hope we can get out to the field site after it dries up some. All the rain today will stop us for a few days.
Thanks buddy. It was definitely a shocker.Dave-IL said:That is a great hunt buddy and I never thought I'd see you dig a nickel slam...but you got it done
Thanks...but I sure didn't know.NICKLE BABE said:I KNEW YOU COULD FIND THE NICKLES GREAT JOB

Thanks....ancient Chinese Secret.dippodigger said:Really nice hunt. I can't imagine pulling that slam off! Which coil did you use?
Thanks my friend.jcooking said:Nice digs, way to go on Nickle-Mania!
Thanks Marl...and you're welcomeMarkdb61 said:Nice work on the nickels. A shield is on my want list. Your hard work and perseverence paid off with a "mega 5 slam". You give me some hope as I usually turn up more pulltabs than anything else. Sorry about the auction link and thanks for letting me post.
Thanks DamarDamar2003 said:Congrats on the nickel slam and a great hunt ! !
Thanks Chris. It will never happen again for me. My back won't take itChris(SoCenWI) said:Congrats, first nickel slam I ever saw posted.
Thanks brother.Elton said:Nice job Bryce............ actually a nice bunch of nickles with that Great Indian Penny for Show !!
Man ............. 11" is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep......... Impressed as usual my friend !!
Indian Pennies, and Buf Nickles have always been two of my favorite coins........
Thanks Bruce. Much appreciateddrkp88 said:Great stuff Bryce !! When I'm in an older but "junk target busy" area I tend to dig most deeper signals even if they don't sound like silver or IHs. I tend to find a reasonable amount of older nickels this way (artifacts too).
Bruce.
p.s. don't worry about too many posts. Folks can read 'em or not - it's their choice.
Thanks Dave. Every nickel I dug looked like it had been soaked in acidMcDave said:Congrats on the Grand Slam !
It looks to me like nickels take a beating in the ground just about everywhere. I thought I was the only one ..
Sounds good bugg.bugg said:5 nickels.... maybe a penta-slam???
Thanks Dew. I don't know if I like your world...cause my back is killing medewcon4414 said:Welcome to my world Bryce haha. You should see my pouch after a beach hunt. Hunting for gold is WORK. Man..... but those nickels are cool beans. Looks like you were zeroed in on those Med gold rings.......

Thanks old friendRon from Michigan said:Bryce,wow excellent hunt.Thanks HH Ron
Thanks Critter. Yep...the thick coat is comin'Critterhunter said:Bryce, great job there! Dug quite a few buffs, Vs, and war nickels, but still a shield nickel eludes me.
Herc looks like he's putting on his winter coat maybe? Good pic, & once again good job...
Thanks Jim. I'm thinkin' higherHawkeye Jim said:Great hunt Bryce...........I'm guessing the pulltab to gold ratio must be somewhere around 1,000 to 1.........maybe even higher!!!
Thanks yeti. I'm not so hot at nickels...but I am making some strides.niterider_58 said:I just got home and thought I would look and see what everyone had found this weekend and I see your post first ever nickel grand slam I almost fainted I hope everybody realizes what a big deal this really is I am really stoked for you. We've been on so many hunts together you've probably found enough silver to fill the back of my pickup truck full and then some, and only when you got bored would you ever even think about digging a low conductor just for the heck of it unless we were at some really really old house or field. So congratulations on a fantastic day, you truly are the best.
deeponedge said:In all our hunts together you are usually busy extracting silver but I know its getting tough.
Good to see you cracking the low conductor barrier. You get it done. WTG on the "shocker" slam.
silverfix said:That is a hunt you will never forget and one you can be proud of!
I got the trifecta once but have never heard of anybody finding all 5 different. Congrats
