The Big field gives a "V" Nickel

Hi gang,

After using the E-trac yesterday and finding the two old coins, I had to find something to show my M6 that it is still a good machine. So I went back to my big field and went slow--like a mole--boring. So I picked up speed but keep my coil on the grass the whole time.

I got a hit that was short and high pitched. I went over the area a couple of times, as I was not sure I should dig the signal. I decided maybe I should dig some less than perfect signals, ones I might normally pass up--like this one. I had already dug several deep holes today--only to find a nail. I started to dig and at 5" it started to sound better. I used my pinpointer-I think the button on the thing is going out AGAIN-anyway, and got chirp. I dug out a coil and decided it was another crummy Lincoln, but it seemed bigger. When I got back to the van I cleaned it with some water and saw that nice "V" on the back--hah a 1903 "V" nickel!!!!!

I guess I'll keep my M6 and hope Santa heard my plea for an E-trac. You can never have enough detectors!!!

Great job. I think most machines are good, not great, there are differences. It's the operator and understanding your machine. Look at CrackBadger, ace 250 he finds more in a month than most people find in a year. It's research, persiverance and luck. Keep up the good work.

WTG TERRY! Looks to be in really good shape. I have about 2 dozen around here, most are well worn. Mine were all found since I've been hunting ( 40 years worth ).......NGE

Re: The Big field gives a "V" Nickel

Nice find..... All the V nickels that I have found , except maybe one , are in pretty bad shape, you can barely make out what kind of coin that they are. I guess it's the type of soil I find them in.
