Hi all,
I'd been hopin' to make GMan's tracking list since I started hunting and I checked. The V nickel that I found the other day made the list. I thought that at least one of the two foreigners that I found over the past two days might make the list but they didn't. One's an Ecuador 5 centavos and the other is from the Bahamas. I like the pineapple (and they're very easy to grow, I can give instructions if you'd like to try). I reached a couple of other milestones as well. My wife and I did a little road trip on the way back from her job interview. It was very unproductive. Two 40%ers, but we also got a Benjamin and I may have found a couple banks that will empty the machines for me. It's our first Franklin. I also think I found a clipped planchet, but I'm not sure. It's curved. Another milestone. My order for 4 boxes went through so I picked them up today, again, a first. Still poundin' the nicks, and I got my best box to date yesterday. It yielded 2 buffalo and 3 war nickels. Found 4 buffs in the past two days. Results of our first boxes:
Box 1: 7 x 40%
Box 2: Skunk
Box 3: 1 x 1973 proof
Box 4: 10 x 40%
Here are some pics, thanks for lookin':
Kindest regards,
Kantuck
Oh, almost forgot. I found my first proof nickel as well.

I like your pictures too. The Buffalo Nickels were really a nicely designed coin in my opinion.
