Hunted a local tot lot that used sand as a surface material.

Spent just 25 minutes hunting with a Vanquish 540 (in Jewelry mode), but found 77 cents in clad...not bad, for me at least.

Prize find: my second silver, but my first ever silver war nickel (1943-P). Rang up as a 13.

Observation: hunting sand is so easy compared to soil/clay filled with rusted iron. I was calling almost all my finds like I had x-ray vision!:lol:

Congrats on the war nick...they aren't found too often! Good pics too.


That makes this find even better!

It was found about 3 inches deep in the sand. Definitely been there a while. But several decades? I think the playground set must have been installed at least in the 1990s.
 
Congrats on your first war nickel. I love digging them and Buffs. And agree tot lots are easy pickens although I don't often hunt them. Good luck, Mark
