So me and a buddy went back to a grown over turn of the century park today. Last week was our first trip back as over the summer its been too thick to hunt. I named it nickel park because of all the V nickels we have found there. Also IHPs and Wheaties were found with an occasional Merc or Barber dime. Last week things changed with my buddy getting 8 silvers including a quarter trifecta, me with 2 Barber dimes and so on. Today did not disappoint , just starting in the path my buddy says 12-47, good one here, 38 Gw. Great start, two minutes later I get a 28-29. two inches down a 1914 Barber dime. Hell of a way to start a hunt. Not five minutes later a 25-26 bingo a Merc at two inches. I yell over todays my day for a trifecta. NOT he did dig a Rosie but that was the only one for the day. A little later I get a 19, An IHP. that made my day, if I hadn't found one more coin I would have been happy with that. So next, within five minutes I get a loud 25-26 warble, like a surface coin, I'm thinkin this has to be a memorial penny, nope, under the leaves is another Merc. First four targets, 3 silver and an IHP. I should have stopped and played the lottery on the way home. My buddy was on his way to another quarter trifecta but fell short, he did manage two Barber quarter with the GW. Also a Rosie and a Merc. 6 IHPs 4 Buffs V nickle 16 wheats. Me I went on to dig another IHP, 15 Wheaties another Barber dime, and 3 more Mercs. I'm pretty sure this a personal high for me on silver in one hunt AlsoI did dig a Buff as well. For me it seem my white whale are Buffalo nickles. I have dug a bunch of V nickels, War nickels, no problem, but when it comes to Buffs I just can't seem to get my coil over one. Today was only the second all year. In the rap up we dug very little clad and a total of 62 coins. The hail sent us running for the truck and it looks like the weather not to good for tomorrow but I can't wait to see what else is there. HH Mark
