I only had a couple of hours today, so I went to a couple of local public spots. As is usually the case, I dug a lot of trash and some modern coins.

One spot has some really nice trees, including this giant magnolia.

I found a buffalo nickel near that tree a couple of years ago, so I went extra slow as I passed it today. I got a deep mid tone, sounded like all the other trash I had dug, so I was surprised when a coin, no two coins, came out of the hole. A quick wipe revealed a pair of V nickels! 1906 & 1907.

The coins were nested together and some details remained. Most old nickels come out of ground in poor shape around here.

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

Great find Tom. It is rare to find two or more old coins in one hole. Sub 8-)
