This was my third trip to the hill, I have named it "Nickel Hill". I have recovered 34 nickels in 3 trips alone. Today finished first half of the hill completely. Got a 74 Kennedy half, 41 wheatie, bicentennial quarter, a casino token and 73 more coins. Today I gridded 10 x 10 areas using small utility flags and worked very slowly... The half was 5.0 down, the wheatie 6.0 Hopefully the other side is as good! :) I have included a picture of "Nickel Hill".

I have only finished half of it in 3 trips...close to 300 coins just from one side.

You should hit 10K in two more trips. Go for it, buddy!

Are you sleeping better now? ::) :P :D

Maybe next week...2 hunts in already this week so should get 1-2 more in this week and finish it up (10,000) next week...

Wow! That's a great haul, congrats. What's the coin/button with the eagle sourounded with the circle of stars?

I found one yesterday at nickel hill too. I thought it was a kid's token...someone on another forum said it is a casino token...
 

Great variety of finds, Gregg! 8) Thanks for the pic!

Congrats! Nana :)
 

Good job Gregg. Almost there. Like I said before. We'll all be expecting 15,000 next year...Lol.

Just go for it (10K), damn it! One trip, baby! ;) :D

I have shortened my hunts quite a bit...as you can see not as many 100 coin days.... not sure I want to dig 276 coins in one day...my best this year was 225. Takes to long! I could do it....They are there...but easier to break it up! :)

Coppas would be nice! But where I hunt....I will be lucky if I can break the 19th century...my oldest coin this year is up to now a 1903 barber dime...
 

great hunt Gregg, i hope the other side produces even more for you congrats ;)
 

that's some great looking coins.
where do you get the little flags at?

I use those little utility flags they use with the metal stick on them...I use a black marker to go over any name. The ones I have are orange...a guy off a utility truck gave them to me as long as I markered out the info... Also small cones work well. But with this being a windy hill I wanted to use something that sticks in the ground and would not be blown away.
