Christmas comes early! Finally.....

" 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...

No that's where you are very wrong my friend. OD Nickel will never die. It's Alive and well has its own Wiki page and one of the New words added in 2015. Long live the OD Nickel.

Actually you have become a legend for not finding a war nickel. Congratulations! Now what are we going to have left to talk about?

Old dude, I can attest to what DoninBrewster said. I hunt with him often and it's not uncommon for us to find war nickels or as we referred to them as OD Nickels. LOL

Yes the OD nickel became a legend, all I can say now is congratulations but I think will still refer to them as OD Nickels! Enjoy the moment, congratulations and happy hunting.
