Another 1st for Me....

[FooserPaul]

Hello ALL!

I was raining and/or misting all day today n Connecticut...

At about 4:30 there was a little break... and I ran 1/2 mile up the road to one of our closed schools... I've dug 20+ wheats there... an 1899 IH, 1936 S Buffalo, a 1943 P War Nickle... 15 Grams of 14K braclet... a 10K ring and a stearling silver ring... so I've done ok there...

I got in about 90 minutes that found 2 wheaties.... 1914 and 1955.... No D in the '14 or Double Die on the '55...

It was getting dark and I was heading to the car and covering ground that I've been over 10+ times... and I got a strange 48 signal turned 90 deg... and it did not dip into the iron range.. signal was jumping... and I wanted to squeeze out one more coin wishing for something good..

So what the heck... pop the plug... stac the hole with my Pistol Probe... Its down in the hole... feels a few inches further down... dig it out onto my towel... and I can see a "V" !!!

Flip it over....

No so good... :-(

Here is after some basic water and light brushing...

Its an 1899!! My 1st V nickle...

The rest...

Thanks for looking...

Happy Hunting!
Paul

Nice coins that would have been the record if the wheat as a 1955 double.d. The V nickle looks good.

Hey, Paul, congrats on finding your first V-Nickel!

I know a few parks that I detect have them. I've only found a couple last year. It's hard to concentrate on the low tones when you're trying to find the deep silver.
