Hit the exact same area where I had found my dime trifecta, came away with a Nickel trifecta of sorts. Found a 1938D Buffalo Nickel, 1944D War Nickel, and of course 2 normal clad nickels...does that count for a Nickel Trifecta? Of Sorts:D

Also found another 1918D Mercury Dime and broke my earlier record of wheats on a single hunt with 15! Wheatie dates were: 1918S, 1918, 1927S, 1930S, 1938S, 1939S, 1941S, 1942, 1943, 3 x 1944S, 1945S, 1946S, and a 1957D!

First time I have ever dug more Wheaties than memorials!!

Mercs are one favorite coin designs. Not bad for a 100 year old lady.

You found 2 Jeffersons, I think they need to be of 3 different kinds. So no trifecta. Anyway congrats on the cool finds. :cool:

Congrats on the silver and a great return trip. Did I read that right a 43 wheat ? That would be awesome. HH Mark

Yea, I didn't even think about that Mark. I guess I have to pull the penny out of a bag FULL of them and take a closer look at it.
 
Absolutely, that trifecta counts. Different compositions!

Great finds.. Amazing finds, in fact. Well done!
 
A modern Jeff nickle is still 25% nickle and 75% copper same as always (except War years). So a new nickle is NOT Clad.

A buff, War (Cu/Au) and Ni/Cu Jeff counts as a trifecta for me.
Two different designs and a design of two compositions.
