Tuesday I hit up my hunted out park for about an hour and ended with 7 nickels, 2 dimes, and 20 pennies

Wednesday started off with 9 pennies from the park in my morning hunt plus a zipper pull, Wednesday afternoon I moved the hunt to a old shut down school yard and pulled my first silver coin Victory a 1942 s war nickel plus another 4 pennies 4 dimes and a cat in the hat pin that appears to be gold plated over silver. Feels great to join the silver club, kinda curious about one thing though the nickel came in at 57-58 just like a normal nickel. I would have thought it would be higher up the scale.

Thursday morning netted me another 7 pennies from the park. I got off on time and decided to hit up another tiny park. It was loaded with pennies, I pulled a nice quota, 79 pennies, 1 dime, 2 nickels and 2 quarters, a cake decorating tip, 30-30 shell, spoon and a old ?faucet? handle before I ran out of daylight. Ending the day with 91 coins Smiley

Caleb, nice finds!  I don't think that is a faucet,  it looks more like a marijuana pipe to me!

Nice silver. Nickles are the hardest coin to find and you got a keeper. Well don.

That looks like a 1970s era hash pipe you have there. Pre-crack cocaine.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Thanks guys, I thought it looked old it had a nice patina and the inside of the bowl is threaded so I just assumed it was a handle.
@Chris have you been digging lately? You need to update your totals  Wink
@Goldigger I seem to dig lots of nickels, are they difficult because they are similar to pull tabs? Ive had a few come in @ 60+ on the vdi, but they are almost always a 57. They seem to ping better than pennies on my machine and Ive dug a few of those in the last couple months Smiley

Caleb - Sadly, I haven't been getting out much lately.  I explained in a thread in the Chit Chat forum Smiley   For now, I live vicariously through you guys again until the weather clears up and the snow leaves (some time in april I hope Smiley )

That's correct. Also, in case you didn't know this, gold rings sometimes get rejected as a pull tab. This is why the more savvy detector users dig every last target. If you regularly hunt the same ground, that can benefit you in another way. You can find deeper targets if the ground is cleaned of pull tabs.

I dont notch pull tabs,  sometimes I will pass them up as I only have about 25 minutes in the mornings. But I have dug 1 gold ring that came in as a pulltab,  that has pretty much cursed me to digging a lot of tabs.
