i went out around 3:00 this afternoon so i didn't really have long to hunt before it started getting dark. i went to the part of the yard where i had gotten the gun from. i dug a bunch of barbed wire, most of it near the surface... then i got a gold/nickel reading on my titan. i dug it and found a nickel. it was very worn and lots of crud on it. i put it in my pouch and went along detecting as usual. more barbed wire and a piece of pipe... i came inside because i was getting cold and it was getting dark. i tried cleaning up the nickel with a toothbrush and soapy water. i could start to see writing on it. then i could just make out a "V". i was like
omg i've got a V nickel!! i did the happy dance for sure.
i think the date is 1899?
here is another pic... too much flash, but its definitely 189?
