Hunted a favorite old beach this afternoon; "V" nickel and misc. items

Nice minus low tide, sunny afternoon today.

Hunted on the muddy flats; found several clads, a watch in two pieces, and a "Liberty " nickel.

I can barely make out the date as 1890, but I could be wrong....will electrolyze it and see what appears;will post a pic after cleaning. I love those "V" nickels...too bad this one is in such poor shape from the salty ocean conditions.

The watch I think was once a beauty...it has small stones around the face; will electrolyze this also just out of curiosity.

The small copper coin I'm quite sure is an old penny.

Here's pics

Thanks for looking again

You did well getting some oldies. Nickel has a lot of corrosion.

You are right Lorraine...that watch will be a challenge to clean up.
BUT......after seeing the results of your magic in other posts, my
money says you will make it look brand new again. Nice finds.
