My first really GOOD find!! In one hole I found 5 loose nickels (2)1908, (1)1909 and (2)1911. About 2 feet away I got another hit. I dug that spot and around 5" deep I pulled this old tea cup or something up that had coins in it! After the pictures, I removed the coins. There were 7 more nickels! The oldest one being the nicest....an 1883. I also found (2) 1869 Indian Head Pennies in the same field. The picture is of the nicer one of the two.

Man, that is amazing find! Try and show us all of them, me being the greedy needy want to see person and all. My first find was a beautiful aluminum pulltab, wore it around my neck until too many people made fun of me, and decided to take it off. They still make fun of me, however. Truly a find of a lifetime, don't remember seeing anyone post that many V-Nickel finds at one sitting!
