Folks, Managed a Victory nickel today....

Folks,

Detected a nearby park which goes back to 1900 it's loaded with trash but if you're patient you can pull out a few decent finds.

Managed a 1943 victory nickel.....note to self try not to slash the better finds next time....

Regards + HH

Congrats on your nickel

That's a nickel I haven't found yet. I have two fish scales and beavers but not that one yet. Nice. Congrats. With all the Canadian I find I should have one already.

That looks like an old scratch to me. Are you sure you did it?

ScubaDetector,

You're probably right but I did manage a couple of dings on the front rim though....actually I thought it was a funny comment to remind the newbies even us old timers still manage to mess up our finds from time to time....

Cool find
Give me a synopsis behind the Victory nickel.
WW II didn't end until 1945??

ATW,

It was to put a positive spin on the war effort to keep up morale both with the troops and the folks back home....I seem to recall they were issued between 1942 + 1945.
