Back To The Old Country Store: V Nickles , IHs, & A Nice Button
This past weekend I got chance to return to the old country store site for another hunt. The bean field still hasn't been plowed but I decided to give it a try anyway. For a change I decided to switch my Garrett 750 to relic mode with very little discrimination and work small areas very slow. It paid off with 2 V nickles (1905 & 1908), 2 IHs (1908 & one no date), 3 wheats (1912, 1919, 1941), a thimble, 3 pieces of play money, a nice old miltary button, a piece of a bell, a buckle, a few whatzits, and 2 marbles (eyeball finds). It was a fun hunt and it still amazes me just how many coins have been recovered there over the years by many detectorists. I also included a couple of finds from the day before at a 1940s yard near my home: a neat Junior Police badge and a small bottle found while digging a deep trash signal. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy
