Hi all,
My work schedule's changed, so I haven't been able to get out detecting as much as I like. My free time now is mostly in the wee hours, so I've taken to some hardcore coin roll hunting. I've been doing mostly nickels and half dollars.
Here's some highlights of my nickel hunting. The pictures below are the highlights of the equivalent of between 20 and 25 $100 boxes of nickels:
Picture 1-3) I've been working on trying to put together a 1938-61 set from circulation. I'm getting pretty close!
Picture 4) I've pulled some surprisingly old stuff out. The oldest is the V nickel, from 1912.
Picture 5) Here's a few of the foreign coins I've pulled. I also have gotten probably several dozen Canadian nickels (fear the beaver!)
Picture 6) I've been hunting primarily for the silver, in addition to finishing the set. In addition to the 10 coins in the folder, here's 18 extra for a total of 28. I have to confess, most of these were pulled one day when I went to the bank and they didn't have a box on hand. The teller gave me $100 in loose rolls from (I assume the back of) the vault instead. In those 50 rolls, I pulled 20 silver nickels.
I post my half dollar finds in the next few days.
Hope you all are getting out detecting more than I am!!
