AT-Pro Weekend Finds..1892 V-Nickel+ Silver!

Diggin-N-Dumps · Mar 24, 2014

Didnt have much time to get out this weekend due to the inlaws coming in town.

Went back to the spot i found my oldest coin ever last weekend.

Within 10 minutes I got a very shallow hit , I figure it was a aluminum screw top the way it sounded, plus it was reading dead on 80.
I popped a quick plug out about 2 inches and out popped this beautiful 1920-S Merc!!.

It’s one of the better conditioned ones I have found.

I walked over and saw all my holes from last weekend and decided to pretty much dig anything…which worked out cause the next solid signal was this 1892 V Nickel.

It was odd because about 98% of my nickels read in the 51-53 ranges, and this one was 48-49.

It seems like every coin here reads slightly lower than any other place I hunt.

Thanks for lookin!

Nice coins I found a shield nickel and it showed up in the 60s and the buffs and Jeffersons show up in the 50s haven't found a v nickel yet. It's on my list for sure hope to find one this year.

Thats Odd, because my Buffalos have rang up from teh low-50's to the mid 60's. I guess its all about postion and how long its been down there
