Hey all,

We are having some beautiful weather in Seattle so I couldn't help it, I had to get out to detect this evening.

Probably didn't start until 7:30 so most of my hunt was by headlamp. Did some neighborhood curb strips. Managed 6 Wheats (all common dates 35-58) which puts my brother and I at 304 FTY. Find of the hunt was a 1904 v nickel. I'd never found one and now I've got two in the last week. Funny how that happens, huh?

Here are the pics!

Thanks for looking and happy hunting all!

Washingtonian, hunting after dark has to be tough.... when your eyes are bad enough, I can't read dates during the day... haha I'm 66 and the challenge would be too much... HH to you and all that hunt at night. I'm retired now, so, I have all that daylight !!!!!

It is! Took me 30 seconds to figure out I had a v nickel in the failing light. Thankfully I have a great headlamp which helps a lot. My neighborhood is pretty safe but I wouldn't night hunt in most places.

you are having too much fun! Naw, but it is nice to find something like a V nickel. At least you figured it out, mine was so toasted that I didn't have a clue.
