First V Nickel and heavy lead

[CoilyGirl]

Found my first V last night in a cornfield that has no doubt been hit with some heavy fertilizer as it was green and toasted,also the same place where I found the toasted US large cent. I'm glad I was able to make out the year,1906 and her face. Two .69 caliber flank a much smaller .50 caliber Smith carbine bullet. Sorry about the sideways picture.

I'd say it's not toasted at all if you can see the date really easy. Just a little TLC will help it out, fine looking lead even though you like to shoot sideways.

I really like that lead ms. coilygirl! There is just something special about finding CW lead.

I agree, I think the V will clean up very well. Congrats on your first! They are always special. Nice Bullets too, it would be nice to be near Civil War sites. HH!

I like those finds Nancy, bullets are always great and I also like the old nickel. What did Steve find?

 

[OldJerseyGirl]

Good hunt if you ask me. I have had a lot of no finds. These would have made me happy.

Thanks Donnie. Steve found three of those big boys and I can't think of what else,maybe a big piece of camp melt. We got a late start yesterday so maybe next time we'll be able to do a little better. Still a nice afternoon doing what we love.

I've only found 1 V nickel ever. I am not sure why they are so hard to come across. I let my friend borrow my CZ-3D and in the first 30 minutes he found his first and the same place I just found about 8 older Jefferson nickels.

You are SO right about that! I have found 2 and one was toasted and the other was in pretty good shape!

I love the lead, CG. I wish we had the opportunity here to find such nice relics here in NePa.

Congrats on your First V! I'm still chasing CW bullets, none yet. Good day!

Beautiful V-nickel. Thanks for sharing the find and those nicks aren't always easy to find. Nice work!

Good finds Nancy. Big lead is good lead. HH, Q.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

You go girl! That's beautiful green and crusty! Bullets too, Awesome!

Jeff, she's one "lucky lady"!

You dug a CSA plate before you got a V nickel! Fantastic! Nice snag on the V and nice looking lead too. I like the photo on top of the jewelry box.

Cheers,

Buck
