Darren here. I live outside Yorkton Saskatchewan on an acreage. I have always been interested in old coins and I got into metal detecting about five years ago. I have a Garret Ace 250. I don't get out very often as my life is pretty busy. About 2 months ago I was given permission to detect an old homestead dated about 1911. It is in a wooded area but the owner had a brush cutter on his tractor and cleared what he could. Lots of trash but I did find 1 coin. A 1928 Canada nickel. Spritzer it with water and a little soft brush action and here it is.   |

Nice find, Boomer410, and to the CCF! Thank you for sharing it with us, and hopefully you'll be able to show us many many more! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

It's always nice to unearth a coin, well done. It's also always nice to get a new permission to detect |

Now I just have to wait for the snow to melt. We have had a small amount of snow here in the UK. Not enough to stop me detecting, the only thing is we have had several frosts and the first 4 inches of ground has been solid.
