Deep targets with the T2

[okerraine]

1886 V Nickel

These are just some of the highlights That came out of the front yard of this 18 seventy's home that is still standing. The 1886 v nickel is my favorite. They were all deep targets but the ring and the rosette were the deepest. The rosette was under a root about 9 inches down, the ring was about 8.

Wow, my V nickels never look like that!

 

[okerraine]

Bev, I may be wrong, but I think that year was composed of brass, copper or bronze.

Mine come out of the ground so dark you can barely see detail, yours is really nice!

 

[okerraine]

I forgot to mention the v nickel is an 1886

Congrats on that great V-nickel find. Check a price guide- that coin looks like it has a full Liberty- grade F is worth $400!

Great job!

Gotta love the T2 for deepies!

What were your settings?

Congrats on the key date. With over a half billion (V's total) made you'd think more would be found ?

Key date not withstanding, I REALLY like the pair of keys, and the teeny tea cup, old toys are scarce finds. My ratio anyway is many old coins for one old toy.

A great days digs.

Great digs and super detail on the nickel as they are a weak strike to begin with OK. HH, Quindy.
