Another exciting first for me tonight! Hot and exhausting two hour hunt was worth it with one clean plug... out comes a really red nickel sized coin. Was thinking I could have my second buffalo, but got out the foo foo spray and I make out the V. I was so excited and it's a beautiful coin! 1907 V Nickel.

I also pulled out a mangled bent up old fork. Some nice color and age to it.

Nice "V" nickel.

Looks like somebody was angry at dinner time on that fork! LOL

Nice Liberty v! I just dug an 1888 v just before the snow hit, I like seeing red pop out of the dirt for some reason,
