Nice find. Bet the ground was frozen. I got out today and it was hard....... still. By sat will be in the 60's YEAH

yep I managed to hunt for about an hour amazing how the ground got so hard again, I hunted several days last week and the ground was all thawed, those 2-3 real cold days sure got it froze again

Congratulations on the find buddy, what did you do to clean it?

how I clean nickels is like this:

mix a spoon of salt in 1/2 cup venegar, stir till it disolves, place nickel in this and swirl it around for 2-3 minutes, the red will start to come off fairly quick, remove it and rub baking soda on it, rinse, dry, and if i needs more, do the process over. Works on any nickels

Nice find bud!
That "V" looks like it's in nice shape too. How do you like that XTerra so far?
