Strange coin from an English Park

[flenj]

Took my Deus into the park today for an hour, don't get many of these in the UK, if at all.
It can be put into context, this park has produced many different coins from other countries from the time of the World War 1. Lost or thrown away by the returning Troops is my guess.

I have never seen a dug nickel in that condition...Not a Buffalo, not a Liberty Head, not even a Jefferson!

John,
Beautiful Buffalo nickle! They just don't come out of the ground any nicer than that, with a good early date too.
Thanks for the nod to the Corps. I spent a quarter century with the USMC, proud to have had the privilege and honor to serve. In the course of that time I shared some drinks with a few British and Dutch Royal Marines. I was always impressed by the quality of men whom I encountered wearing the beret and the globe and laurel, "Per Mare, Per Terram."
Here is to you sir!
Cheers!
Steve

I'm not joining another forum to see your finds

Awesome find and great condition. By the way if I took that shovel into my park they would take away my detector and ban me for life.

Guess the soil is a little kinder there? Nickels are usually as brown as the dirt for me.

Any dug nickel over thirty years in the ground I have ever seen is as red as the day is long. Excellent detail too, that one has some good value. Congrats.

Had to be a recent drop, If we have people from the states buying cartwheel pennies? then I guess its the same for Europe

I should have taken a photo in it's found condition, it was jet black. Half an hour with "Doctor Powers Magic Eraser" and that's how it finnished up.
Over the years some lovely coins and such have turned up in this park that I have sold but I still have some left.

Crusader, I,m not always in the park, I am a member of the South Bucks MDC and regularly out on farms and pasture land.(dig this Sunday on rolled and seeded).
I,ve been detecting for about 35 years (56 if you include the time I spent detecting for arms cashes in the Troodos Mountains Cyprus as a young Royal Marine Commando).
I have had a permit to search the local parks for that 35 years (do you remember that we also needed a "Pipe Finders Licence" to detect as well.)
My first Roman and French Jetton came from a local park and I also have a 1036 Arther Canut in the local museum from another park. Parks were once common land and you can find some nice things,
Not just modern. Just had 4 more Hammies recorded on P.A.S on Wednesday to add to those that have been back recorded from before P.A.S.
