2 more 'keeper' nickels and 2 wheats

Today I went to the same spot as where I found the Barbers yesterday. No more silver came out of there today, but the next time I hit this area I'm planning on using the 5" coil. I didn't walk away empty handed though. I found a 1929 D Buffalo and 1917 S Wheat cent.

I thought I'd try another place. Not as old, but looked promising. The site was heavily trashy, so made a note to return here as well with the small coil. I walked away with a 1944 D Jefferson War Nickel (in great shape) and a 1940 D Wheat.

I'd say that Jefferson was probably dropped close to circulation date. The ground was real kind to it, didn't tarnish it much.

Nice couple keepers. Buffalo with a date and war nickel. Would make me satisfied. :)
