Well, the Columbia river hunt last week went as expected - but I scored some great fishing lead, a 70's Western pocket knife, clad, a little bell, and my FIRST silver jewelry - a couple little flowers that I think were on a bracelet, but couldn't find the remainder.

Lots of Black sand run through the scoop.

Got home and took care of the chores, but today got out for a couple hours just to scratch the itch - over to the river across the street.

Yippie!!! my first V nickle - gosh, it's so crusty I know any detail would vanish if I took it past the rinse I've given it. But I can read the date -1903, see the V and a outline of lady Liberty.

After that, the domed shaped Canada penny - used as a button perhaps?

Even with the trash, I love to beep!

Congrats on the nice finds. :thumbsup: My brother-in-law pulled a domed mercury dime last weekend.
 

Looks like a lot of work!!!! Something is waiting to be found around there that is going to be shinny!!! Good Luck!
 

Nice haul you got there.
I like the silver nut I really like that bell. Heck I like it all.
Congrats.
 

Congrats on the V
 

The bell is very cool and my experience with V- Nickels finds they do not stand up well to the soil conditions here in New Jersey- nice results!
 

Very nice bell and congrats on that first V ! :occasion14:
