Doin the Happy Dance!!! (pics added)

I haven't posted my finds recently because I cannot seem to get the pics sized properly to post so I've sorta given up. But I JUST HAD TO POST TODAY!!!

My hubby recently got his ACE250 and has had his eye on a place to hunt. Even though this place is normally off limits to detectors he did receive verbal permission from the head honcho. Since he is more the newbie than I am we decided to work as a team. He was swinging the stock coil and I had a sniper which I have found to be fabulous for pinpointing. In the front area of this property we found what looks to be a brass buckle, about 1" x 1". In the rear of the property we found a lead bullet, with 1 ring around it and a brass ring. I cannot tell if this is jewelry or a mechanical part.

Then my husband gets a reading of a nickel at about 2 inches and calls me over to pinpoint. I dug a coin, actually about 1" down, wiped it a little, and to my surprise a V showed up!!! WOHOOOO!!!! I started doing the happy dance. Having seen the liberty nickels on the forums I knew we had an old coin. My hubby said he had never heard of it before. We brought it home and cleaned it up a little to find the date. Looks like a 1902. I was hoping we broke into the 1800's but I guess this is close! I've been hoping for a buffalo but I never expected to find this. It is well worn but the marks are definitely readable. You gotta love this hobby!

Well I think the hubby got hooked today too!

Thanks to everyone for help with the pics!!!

Re: Doin the Happy Dance!!!

Very cool to hunt together like that, try going to you pictures, click on edit the click on "save as" and you should be able to pick a file size, mine goes 25,50,75,and 100% the last is to big. I hope that helps it took me a while to figure mine out. Dieing to see those pics.
