Well, mother nature has seen fit to give me just a few more days this season to detect before she freezes me out for good, and I took advantage. Found my first V nickel, about 8" down. It's worn, rough...but dated still: 1904.

Looks better than the 1911 nickel I found a few years ago. I don't remember if I had ever posted it on Tnet.

Actually, that one doesn't look so bad. You still have a lot of detail left on yours.
