Christmas comes early! Finally.....

[Old Dude]

" Wouldn't you know it...Just going out and it just started raining"...
That was the text I sent to Cjon455 and NePa Will as I pulled out of my drive this morning and the rain started pretty hard. There had been a very light mist just 10 minutes before. Just my luck!

" Just found OD Nick and LC at one of those houses outside M___________ lol " read the text I sent them 2 hours and 38 minutes later!
Some may not know, but Carolina Tom and Tylerbdad have been teasing me ever since I made the mistake of telling them I had never found a silver war nick. They even carried on the task of renaming them " OD nickels " lol and begged everyone to only refer to them as that. Well, gentlemen, you can rest easy now...

YES

So cool, I'm very happy for you Dave, it's a nice looking one. I love those war nicks, very special considering why they were made. I'm a big fan of WWII, one of the true wars against evil. This series nickel means allot.

Here we go again!

Now? They are FOD nickles!
Finally..... Well, you understand... I'm sure.
Congratulations sir and as always, God bless.

congrats on the war nickel they can be elusive. I had 13 by August and have olny found 3 more since and I dig nickel signals. Many more to come for sure now that the ice is broken

Congrats!!! the next one will come a lot easier!!

Thanks all. All I can say is:

 

[WHADIFIND]

Now, just HOW, did I miss this!?!? MAN! The skies must've opened up, the clouds parted by the angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus, the trumpets had to be blowing! I must've had my headset up too loud!! WOW!!

It has finally happened!!! And I missed it!!! :HeadBang:

But, didn't I tell you way back in the beginning of the year? That you would find one this year? LOL Sure did push it, didn't you! LOL

I'm glad for you. It's nice to get one of those blamed stuck coin types off the list!

I'm afraid though, that this won't change the "OD" nickel references. But, now it will just be in honor of the finding! Nobody has a better claim!

Good hunt too!

I have voted Banner! Now, THAT, says something!

 

[Captain Caveman]

WooHoo!!! Congratz!!! I haven't found one either, but when I do, I will post that I found a War Nickel!

Thanks guys. It has been fun but now let us move on, lol.
Anywho...today there was some natural sunlight and I got some pics of the LC. I also weighed and measured it. It is 9.2 grams and 28.63mm. I see a Draped Bust! That would explain why I saw no stars around the perimeter. Anyone else see the outline?

 

[P@tch]

Omg! OD found an OD nickel. Hallelujah and merry Christmas to you. I'll send Tom a text. Congratulations

[against the wind]

Congrats on your first Silver Nickel.
Where is it written that we can't continue to call them OD Nickels?

 

[RobRieman]

Congrats on the OD OD !

Man I swear I see flowing hair, that'd be awesome

 

[WHADIFIND]

You actually think they're gonna move on? This is BIG!!! LOL

Actually, I do see the flowing hair image. Do the specs fit?

Awesome!

 

[Scrappy]

Dave I think that's a draped bust with the silhouette and the bun. Great find along with the OD nick

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Digging those low tones definitely paid off for you Dave, congrats on the silver nickel!

Looks like we might be able to get in a few more hunts before the freeze up too!

Hope you and your family have a peaceful Christmas my friend,
Dave

 

[DirtStalker]

OD were you able to clean coin any and pull anymore detail out.

 

[Z.K.]

I missed this news while away during that week...as a newer member, it was great fun to figure out the why behind "OD" nickels. Congrats on the find, though I hope people keep calling them that. : )

 

[huntsman53]

Congrats, congrats, congrats and more congrats! Now you will have to go out and find an OD CW Nickel.

Yup!!!

 

[DirtStalker]

OD Nickels have been one of the best jokes here at the forum. I'm happy to hear, as the founder, that you've finally managed to eek one out of the earth!

Congratulations on a great find and a Very Merry Christmas!

Skippy

Well no witness so did it happen?/ I saw Bigfoot too but I lost my camera. And yes it will always be OD Nickles.
