nickels

My detecting journey began in 2003 when I rented an ACE 150 to help locate the curb-stop water shut-off valve to my in-law's townhouse on a cold snowy March afternoon in mid-central Minnesota. Fast forward to 20-some years, my refined detecting skills have led to astonishing discoveries...

Hello, I recently found this coin in a drawer not metal detenting. It is a 2007 Jefferson Nickel, with what appears to be a copper planchette (coin blank) attached to it. I ran it under the Equinox 600 and it chimed in at 12-13 vdi, which is Jefferson Nickel territory on the Minelab. I saw a...

Well it seems like my theme currently is back-up so that's the title. About a week ago I sent my X-terra 705 off to get a new LCD screen because a couple of the lights were acting up. So that put me to have g to run my back-up detector which is my old X-terra 305 (good machines). Unfortunately I...

Recently, I stumbled upon a nickel collection dump where I was able to pull out several V-nickels and buffalos out of just $20 in bank wrapped nickel rolls. You may have already seen this video, but if you haven't, I recommend taking a look. Link...

I did a box of nickels today and came out with some pretty cool stuff. First off, I got 2 2009-Ds and a couple of 1939s. I also got my first 1939-s which is a key date (6.6 million made)! What may possibly be the best find is this 1943-p war nickel that I found within the first ten rolls. I...

On Friday, I went out for my usual rounds at the bank and picked up $20 in nickels along with $50 in halves. I didn't have a whole lot of cash to spend so I kept the amounts low. I began to look through the nickels. First roll-nothing. Second roll- I pick it up and look at the ends and what do I...

Hi everyone, My name is Ryan and I make videos on YouTube. Recently, I have become very interested in this coin roll hunting hobby and I decided to make a video about my first time coin roll hunting. I would love it if you guys would check out my video! Since it's my very first time doing...

Hi All, I have been reading the forum for a while and enjoying everyone's success. However, I am done searching Nickel rolls. Completed $300 or so so far with nothing. Please advise if I should continue or move on to something else? Thanks

Recently got 4 or 5 boxes of nickels over the past two weeks. I have yet to be skunked by nickel box. Would usually get one or two war or buffalo nickels per box. Not great but not skunked. Box yesterday I got 4 war nickels in a single box. I guess thats my best so far. I just dont find war...

I've recently noted a trend in my searching. It seems that I always find "Many more" nickels when using my smaller version search coil vs the medium. Has anyone else noticed this?

Last week I went through 675$ in dimes and 80$ in nickels. Here's what I found: In the dimes, I found 1x silver dime(1954) Nothing else that I kept besides 2 pennies. In the nickels, I found 1x war nickel(1944) 3x 30's nickels 10x 40's nickels(11 if you count the war nickel) 15x 50's...

Are Nickels good to go through? Is it worth it? If they are, what should I be looking for or be looking to keep. I've seen a few people with their nickel logs on here, but I wasn't sure if it would be good to get into as well or not.

There's a nickel arcade close to my residence. Has anyone tried doing business at a place like this? Did you have any luck? What did you tell them? Jamin

I've been saving all the pre-1960 Jefferson Nickels I've come across for quite some time now. This weekend I finally went through all the ones I have, and I realized I've got way too many of them. But before I send some of them back into the wild, I wanted to see if any of you fellow collectors...

Anyone have any luck selling any to a coin shop? I know the mintage was under 100,000 for P, D, and S all together. Redbook's price isn't any higher than the rest of them though. Is there a demand for them at coin shops? If anyone has any idea if they are worth saving please let me know. I...

Haven't posted in this forum for a while. So, I decided to take everything I found so far in the last two months, point out the finds that stand out of common and share with you, fellow hunters. This is the first time I found a silver commemorative dollar and silver halves for face value...
