Found my 2nd V Nickel! Sweet!

I went into the woods left of my home, which is my property. I was mainly picking up Iron signals until I went next to this big, odd looking tree and I suddenly got a Nickel signal according to my Fisher F2. Since I kept getting low toned signals, I decided to dig it up, I usually don't dig Nickel signals but I am glad I did. So I dug for at least 30 seconds and the hole was at least 6 inches deep. I stuck my pin pointer down in said hole and it went it off! I saw the rim of the object and I knew right off the bat what it was. As I plucked it out of the hole there was dirt all over it, I thought it was a Buffalo Nickel since it was toned like one. But as I brushed the dirt off gently, I saw the stars on the coin. I was shocked. "V Nickel!" I said out loud. I checked for a date. 1906! "Wow!" I said. I looked in the hole again to make sure there was more in there but there was nothing else. After detecting for 30 more minutes, I found 2 more items: A 1953 D wheat cent and something for a TV (what I'm guessing). After I got home, I quickly put the V Nickel in a holder and then I got to thinking. Why was a V Nickel and a wheat cent doing back there in those woods? Either way, I was still happy that I dug up that Nickel.

It would of been a shotgun shell if I dug it. Congratulations

Great find. I've only found one V nickel and it was so toasted that I originally thought it to be just an old button. Yours, however, is in really nice condition. Awesome coin. And keep your coil swinging too because Ky. has lots of history hiding just inches under our feet. Good luck on locating many more.

Excellent find for sure. V nickels in that condition aren't found that often.
