Another morning at the pounded park. I've been doing well on nickels there. Found a couple of "V" nickels, a Buffalo and a keen mercury dime in this particular strip of higher ground near one of the busiest intersections in my city. It has several real old and impressively tall pine trees growing out of it. I found the war nickel (my second to date) and was feeling pretty good about it. A little later I got a deep 28 tone on my Legend, which is NOT a typically exciting number for me, but for whatever reason the nickels I've been finding will present a 27 or 28 number on occasion...so I dug it.
Among the countless cars, sitting at the stop light, ten feet away with their radios blasting and thumping, I could only hear my heart beating when I read the inside of the band....pretty sure it's not solid gold but my excitement was real.🥴. While a magnet doesn't attract and the color doesn't change whilst scratching deeply into the inside of the band, rubbing it repeatedly in my hand leaves a blackish streak on my skin so....I have doubts but a fun find! EDIT: I soaked it in vinegar for a couple hours with no change, additionally, its volume weight is nearly exact to the volumetric weight of gold per my scale and an online calculator....I think it's um... REAL! 😀😀😀
