I have only been out about 3 times this year but the results have been the same as last year. After digging 90 old nickels last year and Park Pirate digging about 80, I thought we had cleaned out the old parks but they just keep showing up. So far this year, one shield nickel, two Buffalos and today's 1906 V nickel and 1943-P war nickel. So 5 old nickels in about a week. Also have dug 4 indian head cents. No silver coins yet ! I'm not complaining because I know some guys don't find many older nickels or indian heads. Just would be nice to dig something different with maybe some more shine to it !

Nice coins. I have only gotten 5 IHCs and 1 Buffalo in the last year, so that looks really good to me! Congrats.
 

You guys are park-nickel professionals that's awesome that you keep finding them in them old, likely pounded parks, congrats!
 

Well, I'm off to a good start with another Buffalo today ! So up to six in about 2 weeks, At this rate, I'm on pace for just about 100 ! Also dug indian head cent #5 for the month this morning.
 

Nice digs . Thanks for sharing the hunt and the pictures
