1889 V Nickel & a Magic Lamp

[Ed-D]

Took some time to fight the high weeds and passing thunderstorms of central TX... An 1889 V Nickel, remnants of a Magic Pocket Lamp, some junk jewelry, and a Winchester New Rival head stamp which more than likely is the late 1800s version.

Every single one of the class rings came from hunting the lakes... I had a good run, all my spots are under 20 - 30 feet of water here in North TX...

Nice finds, Ed. The twin to that 1889 V-nickel was the first coin I ever found. And I found it with a GMT when I wasn't even coin hunting.
