1909 V nickel

[68kaiser]

Found this at a park here in Santa Barbara while working in town this week. Trash everywhere but manage to pull this from the sea of tabs and caps..
I am getting the hang of the vaquero.. Ground balance .. set sens as high as it will be stable, thresh nice solid humm, disc just above iron..... And listen for quiet "round" "soft" "make you smile" tones.. Its all about the tones with this machine and headphones. The audio is great on the V. I am playing with the power tuneing but don't see much of a difference. The coin should clean up nicely. I will post a after shot when I get home this weekend.
"Get out there and hunt... The coins won't dig them selves" is my mind set this year.

Nice V. I've only managed to find two of these so far, and both in rough shape. I wish you success on the clean up.

That's a good one , I have only dug 1 V Nickle in my time , Yours should clean up good - Agreeing with you.

Clear the Tab's / Foil & Find the Nickles & Gold Good Luck.

Wow. Them nickels are hard to find. I've never found a Buffalo---let alone a V. Good job.
