This was a few weeks back, just didn’t have the motivation to post a lowly 1942-S war nickel and wheat duo. The women’s bowling pin was kinda interesting - ‘50’s era?

Anyway, my 3rd ever war nickel :cool:

The dirt “reveal” pic was after a spit bath for the nickel - I knew it was an odd coin and that made me suspect war nickel. This was at an older school.

Happy hunting folks!

Nice outing! Those are some crusty looking bits of treasure, lol.

Thank you - yeah the coins around hear come out pretty toasted in general.

Nice hunt congrats.

Thank you!

Congrats on the war nickel and wheat. The pin is also a pretty cool dig. I find most clean up decent. HH mark

I’ve dug only 3, and of then the 2nd one came out of the ground nice looking. The others, black gunky.
 
Nice job recovering the wheat cent and your third-ever war nickel, Jeff! :waytogo:
 
Congrats on the Wartime Nickel. I've dug only one this year and it's beat up even worse than yours which is surprising in a way because most of my War Nickels come out of the ground in good shape.
 
Nice finds and interesting pin. Congrats!

Thanks Jam. I liked the pin, different :)

Congrats Jeff on adding a Silver Nickel to your coffers along with the Wheat. You have been on a very nice roll of late. Trapper

Thank you Trapper!

Thanks Princess :)

Congrats on the silver & wheat! :D

Thank you WD!

Thanks Diggin. Only one of mine has been nice looking out of the ground.
