1911 "V" nickel, Oregon trade token, & seven wheat cents

I took off a half day of work and went detecting downtown Eugene Oregon today ~ didn't do too bad . . .
. . 60 pennies, 7 wheats 1916 to 1958, 5 nickels, 1911 V nickel, 16 clad dimes, 2 quarters, Oregon trade token, & an arcade token. The 1911 V nickel is super ugly! You can barely make out "1911" in the picture. The trade token is good looking ~ FRANK BROS. / 251 / E. 2nd St. / THE DALLES // GOOD FOR 5c IN TRADE. I haven't looked it up yet to see if a rare or common token.

where do you guys go to find all this great stuff? i've went to an old house and only came back with some clad coins and copper cents. the best i've done is a 1957D wheatie that was ugly. what's your secret for finding old coins?!

Hi CoinLover,

You just got to keep at it! I've gone to old houses before and found nothing too! How long have you been detecting? I've been detecting for over 13 years now ~ my finds get better & better each year. Now I'm in a detecting club (since April of 2006) and I'm just doing more & more detecting!

Your equipment might be a factor too ~ I started out with the cheap make/model detector, but I soon realized if you want to find the good stuff you need a good detector. I use a White's XLT.

Take care! GOOD LUCK!!

WTG!! Seems like right downtown is a great bet in most cities if you can "swing it". Get it?

Nice finds. V nickels are fun to find even if a little ugly. That token is cool. Most likely from around the early 1900's.
