Default On The Road Again-Seated-Shield & V-Nick-Keydate Indian!

Road Trip Part 2

Doug and I went back to the park where we found Indians and a Barber dime last week. This time it was all Doug…he was smokin’ hot! To sum up my day it is like the list they put out at contests saying “Also participated was…lol!” so that sums up my day. We had been there about 10 minutes when Doug called me over so I could film his first Indian for the day and while I was making my way over to him he swung his coil a bit around the hole and said “I think I got a keeper target here too!” Soon as I got there I checked it and said “Man I think that is a Silver quarter!” Well I filmed the Indian then we did a full dig video and we both were ecstatic to see Silver in the hole but not just any Silver quarter it was a seated quarter! We went on with the hunt and Doug gives me a holler out, he just found a Shield nickel lying on top of the ground! Man is that being in the zone or what. He later on dug a V nickel and another Indian but this one is special a key date 1872! Well I got shut out from keepers but I am glad that Doug held up our Dayton Diggers reputation!

That was an unbelievable day. I can only dream of finds like that in a public park in my area. Thanks for the video!

BTW, I really like your signature. That would be awesome on a t-shirt. Think I might do that. That Quater is a dream find for me.
