That is like me and Buffalo nickels. I had never found one until March and now I have at least a dozen.

Now if I can do that with shield nickels!! (I do live in an area with a lot of revolutionary history, York county, SC) I will be hunting near the Battle of Hucks defeat site (on some land next door) this winter, so hopefully I can find something really old.

I watched Andy Sabisch dig a capped bust half dime at a site I took him to right before I got my ETrac. It was the site of Hills Iron Works, which was burned by the British in 1782. No other silver coin has come from there. I found my one and only Indian head there (1884) just after I got my ETrac.

I also took Andy to another site and he pulled an 1840 O seated dime to my clad stuff. I was still learning my ETRac then.

Our area has been pounded pretty hard, I just have to work at getting permission to some of these older sites that are virgin.

yesterday Jim and I went to an elementary school, built in the 50's....I was digging clad and pulltabs hoping for a piece of jewelry. No go on the jewelry but I did get $5.71 in modern coins in one hour, got a 1948 silver rosie, and 2 wheats.

On the way home we stopped at a field I pounded pretty hard this spring, was hoping there might be something I missed, about the 3rd target I came across was a solid 12-12 and it was 2" deep, out popped my 9th shield nickel for this season, it is a no date, but it has to be 1866 or 1867 because it has rays.....not long after I got the worlds crustiest indian...lol, takes me to 166 injuns this yr.
