v nickel

Excavated from a NYC landfill on May 5th 2023.

Found this 1892 V Nickel at a local park thats been hammered over the years guess it was my lucky day :)

This is ODD, went out today on Main Street in Rolesville, NC and found this in a farm field. I thought I had found a V Nickel, but upon inspection everything reads backwards including the date. It has 13 stars on face, but they are all impressed versus raised. The bust faces right instead of...

Recently, I stumbled upon a nickel collection dump where I was able to pull out several V-nickels and buffalos out of just $20 in bank wrapped nickel rolls. You may have already seen this video, but if you haven't, I recommend taking a look. Link...

The wife found these this weekend with her AT Pro on a site that has produced some other finds from the early 1900's. The V nickel is either 1902 or 1903 but is pretty toasted. The token is to Robinson Point Lumber Company (similar to the one posted by Bayou Joe here a few years ago). The...

My wife and I just started detecting this year and spent the last couple days on some family property that has been affected by significant hurricanes the past hundred years or so. We do not have as much access to historical sites as many of you in the colonial/civil war areas but we are...

Detectorist Day Before Christmas: Dog Tax Tag, Token, and V Nickel Fun The day before Christmas and all through the park, not a creature was stirring, except…….an old fart. With a detector in hand and hope in his mind, the detectorist had visions of uncovering a find. The children emerged...

Went out to detect a local park that I believe some of you have already hunted. I have seen many with detectors in the park. I have also hunted the park many different times with mine. I have pretty much given up finding any copper or silver in the park. As a result, I have begun to dig all...

Went to a friends yard today this is the only coin that turned up, think the mosquitoes got more than V cents worth of blood! Looks like the date showing is 1903, maybe should try the ketchup cleaning method ? If it cleans up good will post again, thanks for checking out todays finds !

It's big silver day!!! I had a feeling it was going to be a good day today. Lakemonster and I went to a spot in a small north east Texas town that has, obviously, been overlooked or poorly hit by other MD'ers!! I'm getting too old for all of the up and down stuff, but, it was worth it...

Well, the fields around me are finally starting to get picked of their crops and that means they're opening up for detecting. I was able to get out last week with my buddy Wes, and he and I put in a full day. We each had a pouch full of trinkets, but the 1898 Barber Quarter was my prize...

So I haven't found anything picture worthy in a while, but that changed today. I went to the bank to take care of some stuff unrelated to CRH. I decided to pick up $40 in nickels, and I wasn't expecting too much out of it since this bank has never produced many keepers. They gave me $40 MRW and...
