Many Nice Finds w Key Date Nickel

[cambria09]

Hello All. I'm stoked. Kudos to Btoots who put us on a great site, an empty small town lot that must have had a couple of lives.

Finds are too varied to describe but got buckles, Wheaties, silver, ammo, old bottle, etc, and the find of the day (for me anyway, Btoots got an 1880 shield nick!) I dug a key date V nickel...suhweet my most valuable coin to date. Found it at 6-IN in a high well drained sandy area, so condition is better than good...did I say I'M STOKED!

Thanks for the view and good luck to all. C9

Awesome looking nickel! I've only found a few V nickels and they looked terrible. I couldn't even see the dates between the wear and corrosion. That nickel looks like it was dropped soon after minting. Congrats!

That's beautiful for a dug nickel, and to be a '85 to boot? Great hunt. Hit that spot again.

Congrats on the fantastic finds!! I've never seen a V-nickel come out of the ground looking like that, let alone a key-date like yours! Absolutely awesome day!!
