war nickel

Today I was hunting on the farm, and got my first 19th century pocket spill. The signal, initially, was strong in the one cent range (mid 40's on the Legend). I had been digging modern cents earlier and figured this would be another. I was quite excited to see a nice 1837 large cent after...

Howdy all, I went out yesterday for about two hours and here's what I found. I was at the site I posted about a few days ago with the early-mid 1800s, 1930s, and 1950s houses all three pretty much on top of each other. My first hunt yielded an indian, two mercs, an 1835 lc, and some other...

I know its only 35% silver, but that's more silver than aluminum!

Walked from school straight to the bank this afternoon to buy a few rolls of nickels to look for a 2019 Nickel for a 20 yr time capsule the school will be burying later this summer. At the bank I take out a 20$ and told the teller I’d like to deposit half and have the other half in Nickels...

Found my first war nickel yesterday. Also a cap from a 1910s-20s Lehn & Fink toothpaste tube with some cool initials on it. Found another geocache that I think I found once before. I just looked at it and left it.

I found this oddity a while back and that's as clean as I can get it using conventional methods.

My friend found a 1945 S War Nickel thought I would show it off :)

Alright I've been a bit lazy about posting my finds lately but some things just need to be shared. My first good find of the day was an old buckle cover that dates back to around the 1880's or so. Good find for my relic pile, then after a makeup tin and some other stuff I found a 61 Rosey. After...

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...

Hello All!!! Thought Id share some of my finds. I just started MD'ing last summer and Im having a blast! Here is my oldest coin that I found so far. Here are my first finds with my metal detector last summer. Landlord gave me permission to detect and learn my detector in the yard of the...

Went back to the park where I've done most of my detecting this year and ran into a club member who usually gets some good finds there and recently unearthed a seated dime at Druid Hill Park. Congrats to John. I hadn't found an Indian Head today and decided to "call it quits", so I made a...

Haven't gotten to hunt much lately since the weather is terrible. Took the ol' cmpro out to a park I've been to a couple of times. The war nickel was only down about 4 inches near a soccer field and the 14k gold pendant was just under the wood chips in a tot lot... it comes in as foil on the...

It was worth 5 cents! Here is the roll of nickels The War nickel is on top. The other dark coin in the roll is just some discolored miscellaneous nickel. This is the end view. This is the nickel. The same box contained a 1927 Buffalo, one other War nickel, and a Canadian coin too...

I just got the Fisher F-2, and I was wondering what war nickels ring up as on it (VDI and item ID. I do not have any war nickels, but I do have pages of BU 90% silver coins :happy3: . Thanks.
