[Goes4ever]

Hit a field tonite I hunted last year. Was hoping I missed a few keepers, well I was right!


First keeper of the nite was a general service CW button and about 30 minutes with no keepers....no coins yet I get a nice smooth 12-12 signal and less than an inch deep out popped the KING of the V nickels!! 1885....woohoo!! Also got a toasted 1880 Indian


andthen I dug a couple lead bullets. How old are they any ideas??

Great job! I hope the queen (1886) is out there for you too!

Very nice coin and rare! Great job. Your bullets are considered modern although they look like they have been in the ground for a while.

awesome find! Looking at some similar ones on ebay, you could have yourself a hundred dollar bill. Not bad for a nickel!

did u look at current auctions or completed ones? Looking at completed ones gives a better idea because everyone waits to bid till last 2 minutes lol

Very Nice ! Sure don't see that one come up very often ! It's kind of surprising to me that the mintage for the 1912-S is only 238,000
yet it's value is way less than yours which has a mintage of 1,472,700 .

nice, and it's in decent shape too

Awesome find. I don't know what they put in the Soil in OHIO, but none of my nickles look that good. I dug a 1910 V nickel (My First) this morning, and it isn't good enough to photograph.

Superb find.
