First Ever V Nickel-pics added

After the sweet short hunt at our Bed and Breakfast I had yesterday, another hunt today was a must.
The boy and I hit it together today but, looks like yesterday was more of a teaser hunt then anything. We found a few things but, not the finds like we thought we'd find.
I found 4 more bullets, 2 Williams cleaner and 2 Sharps and then my first ever V nickel, a 1907. All the boy found was a Infantry button and a couple of the smallest round balls I've ever seen. Lol
No pic yet of the boy's finds.

Nice digs:thumbsup: those nickels don't seem to show up that often:dontknow: those small round balls can be a pain to find but if you find those you know the area is OLD

Nice finds DS. The nickel looks to have really good detail. I have one, but it is porous and rusty.

Good job on keeping the boy down. Old guys rule and whippersnappers drool! GL&HH.

Uh oh! I suspect the boy's just saving up for a real shellacking ! LOL

Ain't it fun when you turn up something for the first time? I still recall almost all of mine.

Nice!

Thanks Everyone!!

I looked awhile before I got a buffalo, thought I'd never find a V nickel. Guess I can start a long countdown now for a shield nickel.

Here's a pic of the boys finds for this hunt finally. The big brass piece we believe to be part of a CW Calvary Sword Belt Buckle.
