Congrats on the V nickel truth. You always talk about how rough your soil is but that nickel looks great, four of the five I've dug have little blisters on them much like a Zink penny after it's been in the ground a couple of years and my ground up here in Misery (Mo.) is fairly mild.

You know BLK HOLE I don’t think I’ll ever beat 2018 in nickels I still have a hard time realizing how many buffalos, V’s and war nickels I was hitting that year. But then again I had 100,000 pull tabs lol
I appreciate you remember that that was the best feeling in the world hit in the mid tones and getting them nickels that everybody else walked over.
