Hi all!

I met Ron downtown today for several hours of detecting! We had fun! Here's what I dug:

1942 Merc dime
1943-S War nickel
1945-S War nickel
N.D. Buffalo nickel
six wheats ~ 1944-S, 1955-D , 1952-D, 1946-S, 1949-S, & 1920
22 clad quarters
22 clad dimes
11 nickels
131 memorial cents
1 arcade token
---------------------------
197 pieces = $9.87

The Buffalo nickel, 45-S War nickel, and three wheats were all together about five inches deep! I love finding old pocket spills!

Yeah, it was close to 7 hours of detecting with no breaks!! From a little before 10:am to almost 5:pm.

Nice job, Neil. You've been getting the silver regularly lately. The war nickels are always a pleasant surprise.

Congrats,
