Tribe of Indians and a Nickel Trifecta!!!

[Goes4ever]

This is all my finds from the weekend, I hunted a couple different houses and an old park that I have had luck at in the past. I ended up with 7 indians: 1867, 1879, 1882, 1898, 1901, 1902, 1906. One silver rosie, some wheats, smashed thimble,old brass ring.....and something for me that is a difficult task........a NICKEL TRIFECTA!!!! 1868 Shield nickel, my 1st one this season, 1906 V nickel and a real sharp 1915 Buffalo. I am always thrilled when I get old nickels, because I dig SO many low conductor targets chasing after them. Deep nickels bounce around a lot and are rarely ever a nice easy 12-13 signal. The shield nickel was real crazy and it was 08-16, 08-20 bouncing around....digging those junk signals paid off!!!!

Terry: Did you happen to use very fine steel wool on your nickels to clean them?

Wow. Nice indians. I love those. I like finding 1 nevermind 7.

Great hunts! You always seem to find tribes of Indians wherever you go. I wish there were more Indians around where I live.

I used your steel wool trick on a 1976 bicentennial half I recently found and it did a pretty good job on it too.

Were thimbles hated that much that they stomped on all of them? How many have you found in good shape? I have only found one that was in good shape but numbers that were mashed like yours.

I do not think they were stomped, I am guessing after they were lost they were either smashed by someone walking on them or something running over them. I have found quite a few that were not smashed
