Went to a hard hunted park today, but one I have never hunted. I found some clad, the neat little Kodak Olympic pin, a GM key, and another Chuck E Cheese token, lol. It was getting pretty hot by that time so I decided to hunt in the shade of some trees close to a fence row. I got a coin signal and sight spotted a small spill of a dime and 2 1-cent pieces. I figured I would hunt that area a little harder and got a signal that identified as being maybe a cent piece and 2 inches down. I could tell it was old when I took it out but had no water and stuck it in my pouch. After getting home and cleaning it up I saw my first "V" Nickle and oldest coin to date. I know it has seen better days but I still like it!

Very nice nickel. Those chucky cheese tokens are everywhere. I found several in nh and now tn. I bet you could md in peru and find them tokens.
 

Very cool! I'll never forget my first "V" nickel.....I thought it was a slug! I love our hobby!
 

Congrats on your first v nickel! Just missed the 1800s by 2 yrs:hello2:
 

Congrats on the V nickel. :thumbsup:
 

Congratulations on your first V Nickel! Don't be disappointed by the condition. I've found 4 myself and yours is probably in better shape.
 

Love your 2007 Chuck E Cheese token!!......Don't laugh......some people collect them as well........I got 30 of them from a thrift store last week and only paid 25 cents for them all....less than one cent each.......some are VERY rare and worth good money, and even sold on Ebay......here is a link for more information:
