Bucket lister - Its "Trime" to end the drought !

[Trezurehunter]

I can finally stop drooling over the 3 Cent silver Trime's that all of you post, because after 30 years, I finally have my own ! My bucket list is very short these days. I hit a field on Sunday, that produced 2 Shield Nickels, an 1867 and 186?. I decided to go back yesterday to see if the field held any more goodies and it did. Before I popped the 3 Cent piece, there were 2 Indians that came to surface one being a 1906 the other to crusty to see. After 3 1/2 hours, I decided to call it a day, and headed back to my truck. About 30 feet from my truck (and still in the field) I heard a good, very quick short hit on my Equinox 800 and decided to dig. Out popped this beautiful 1852 3 Cent silver. This was the first time I have ever used the Equinox in a field (usually its my Fisher CZ5) and I was hunting in the Field 1 program. I think I'll be going back again this Sunday. I have been hitting this field on and off for 5 years now. Keep those detectors on until you reach your vehicle. Come on Franklin Half ! (I know its hard to believe I haven't found one yet) I did not put the Shield Nickels or Indians in the pic, as they are still in Olive Oil and being Coppers and Nickels from a field, the detail is not that good.

Congrats on getting that one off the list, and a ver nice example if I might add.

Sometimes the dusty wants on the list get blown off when that surprise turns up in the dirt.

A big congratulations to you. Terrific finds. It sound like you paid the price too!! Quick question, do you really find that soaking copper coins in olive oil really helps? I have always struggled with how to make my coins look nice with out ruining their value.

It does help to bring out the detail in the coin. I've never had a problem with it. Soak them for a week or two, pull them out, dry them off, and into the 2x2 holder they go.

That little beauty is absolutely awesome! Huge Congrats for knocking that one off the bucket list. I haven't found a 3-cent piece of either type in nearly 30 years, so I respect how elusive they are. Question, if you have a chance to reply- do you remember what number that quick hit displayed?

It was a solid 18 in Field 1 Jeff. Very quick, sharp, solid hit, obviously because of the small size.

Congratulations on the tiny silver Bucket Lister!
I found mine on a night hunt in my yard and was so lucky I was able to find it in the hole without losing it or whacking it.
