Was at a place same as oldest penny. Got a close nickel signal so what the heck got it out and saw V on back- turned over and saw 1891 on the bottom and just could not believe what I was looking at, 1800 coin, then it hit me wow is this real. Cleaned it off some had some wet sand on it-just rained last night - sure enough it was 1891 V nickel. Checked the area about 7 -8 feet away got a penny tone and got it out to see a wheat penny, saw date 1926, later found 1930 wheat. Safari was with the coin gods that day for me. Good luck & happy hunting
