1989 V nickel

Good job on the oldies... don't worry about KOB... he's been hunting nuggets with no much luck these days...

Be careful posting pics. Someone is now dialing in your location where you hunt. Expect to see poachers !

 

[johnny utah]

yeah i'm pretty anonymous
i like to keep it that way
i like to share this history not many get to see this old stuff
i've learned -
youtube they post way too much info
& then u have company - keep the locations very general
nothing like this is what it seems when u look at this location

 

[johnny utah]

yeah even the clue of Milwaukee
defin nowhere near Wisconsin
these tokens were used all over the US

Love the old beaches! Some cool treasures you dug! Thanks for sharing!

Kind of reminds me of a few of Bobs hunts, Scubadetector?

I have a lot of old spots here but only one that I dig the same stuff, from late 1800's, early 1900's. Most places here started in the 30's. Some of the gold I've dug from my 1800 spot is down right ugly but cool.

 

[johnny utah]

thanks
i've got another spot that is 1930's i've just finally pinpointed this one too
found a few very cool items out of there too - that one decent drive away
very few silver coins yet - quite challenging bottom material
i know the stuff is there too - but it takes time to push thru all the trash!

 

[johnny utah]

yeah scuba detect certainly pulled some old treasures too
he found a lot of seated coins i've yet to land any of those
need older sites yet! LOL
