Indianhead park

I love this old park I've tryed a couple times and gave it a name! Found $3.33 today with my 3rd Indian head... an 1889 in good condition! Also found a 1942-S silver nickel and a 1946-S nickel which are rare and 2 wheaties(1942-1945). Two other 50's nickels and alot of 65-70 dimes and quarters. And to add to the fun I found a musket ball and a pounded metal arrowhead! To date coins are at $88.64HH~Andy!

Another 40 degree day with rain all changed by 10 am as southerly wind pushed rain north and brought in 70 degree day, 1st time in 3 and a half weeks. Time to dig and was shocked at 2nd Indian head, again an 1891. this is really weird as I found 2 v-nickels this year(both 1912) now 2 Indian head pennies (both 1891)? I've detected on and off for 32 years and seen alot of strange things, but this takes the cake! Found $2.84 in 2 hours brings my total for year at 85.31 Biggest finds were 2 gold rings(got $246 for them), 5 silver rings,22 silver coins,36 wheat-backs and 2 indian heads of which I kept all for collection! I now need just 3 wheaties to fill my 1930-1958 book! Next year I plan on denting that 1909-1940 book hard as lots of spaces remain!

nickel day!

Was at bank today as it rained and temp. around 40! Said to myself "lets cash in these coins and buy somemore! Good choice, brought home $20 in nickels and was astonished at what I found...
1935, 1935-D, and 1937-D buffalos all in different tubes! And I also found a 1943-S silver nickel and 1939-D and about 20 more from 40's and 50's! I think I found a lucrative way to detect over the winter!HH~Andy~

Gosh, it seems like forever since I've been here, but I'm back! Been working with marriage thing and now that is out of way I hope to detect a few more times before snow! Honeymooned in vegas and now its time to earn some money back! Went out today in 40 degree temps and found 2 silver rings, a timex watch, a christian token and $6.85! Included in my finds were my first Indian head penny(1891), V-nickel(1912)-2nd 1912 this year and 7 wheat backs. My year to date total is now at $82.47! Cashed in my 2 gold rings for $246 but have kept the 20 silver coins and 4 silver rings so I estimate I'v found around 450 bucks this year! Great for a hobby! Still looking for job!
