I'm going back to a site where i've done very well with old silver & copper coins & some jewelry...now digging some lower tones. Upon returning home, I realized that one of my nickels was a V. I spent a little time with a toothpick & i can make out 190x, pretty sure it's 1901. I'm just happy to be able to see any detail on it at all since the other V nickel i dug here in the fall was completely wasted.

Ended up with the V, three wheats, an ice rink token, and $0.82 in clad.

Wow 2 posts in one. Those V nickels normally come out toasted, from my experience. You are still killing it. :headbang: 2016 is a great year for you Murray.
