Was hunting a hill along the lake at a local park and noticed that a road crew was digging up a parking lot. Waited until they left and went over to search dirt pile and area left u filled and found this 1904 V nickel coming in loud and clear at 53. Also found the wwII wheat backs on hill!

Wow, those wheats sure are varied in their colors! Is the little feather marked?

Good work guy.... I was lying on some super hot pavement a couple weeks ago in a large parking lot. I was changing out my son's frozen rear caliper and saw a penny lying under the car. I finally reached over to grab it when I was almost finished. It was a 1929 w/no mint mark wheat penny. I was kinda surprised...

Good job on the nickel find! :occasion14:

Nice finds. You took full advantage of the situation and exploited it to your advantage. WTG
