V-Nickel

[doyboy]

I got out today to a hill that is behind a local elementary school. I have heard that this area has been hit in the past, but I went there with a positive mind. Within 5 minutes of turning my detector on, I got a nice reading. It pinpointed at 4.5", so I dug a hole and out popped a beautiful 1904 V-nickel (4th of the year). About 3 feet below it, I got a "Penny" reading. It pinpointed at 5.5", so it was "diggable." This proved to be a 1944 Wheatie.

Zoyboy and Blitz could not grace me with their prescence, and I was happy with that .

Thanks, guys, for the comments. I live in PA and have noticed that some soil conditions can be kind to Vs. I am going to hit this hill, again, on Friday. RP and I are going to do a night excursion : .

I do love finding those V-nickels. Everyone is a new thrill. I was suprised to find one on this hill. My uncle has hunted this hill in the 90s and found Buffalo nickels and a Mercury dime, but not a coin this old. And, considering its condition, I believe, that it may have been dropped around 1908-1910. This school was built in the 60s, so try to figure that one out.

Once, again, thanks, Zoyboy and Blitz, for not showing up .

Why, Doyboy, do you feel threatened by our skills? I guess we will be comparing finds when Sunday comes around. You know Silver Zeus and I will pull some silver out of the grove this weekend. Will you and RP?

I know the feeling well. Old coins are scarce in my part of the country and my oldest is a 1907 vee nickel. Mine is not in near as good shape as yours though. Keep on keeping on. Monty

Zoyboy, you and Silver Zeus will be left in the dust after our weekend. Heck, you think IHs are good, just wait until you see our hoard! Do you feel threatened?
