It's been a while since I've been able to detect but it sure felt great to get out again. Got a 1908 quarter, 1902 dime, 1883 v-nickle, 1893 v-nickle, and 1891 indian. Nickles don't hold up well around here.

Good going Kenpa. Hey, they aren't that bad. You can at least still read the dates on them. I have found some that looked more like electrical box knockouts than nickels.

Beautiful set of coins, kenpa. Even the nickels, though not in the best of shape, are always pleasing finds.

Some great finds, what kind of area were you hunting, were the coins deep? H.H.:-)

Waterman It was an Island that was an amusement park in the late 1800's In eastern Pa. All overgrown now and it's been hunted alot but I believe there is still alot there. The island is about a mile long and 3/4 mile wide so there is alot of area to hunt. the deepest one this time was about 3" , but the 1893 nickle was on top when I moved the leaves.
