Life has forced me to put down the MD for the last couple of years, but I am back in the game!

I went out yesterday in my new backyard and found my first V nickle off of my first signal! I was floored. My neighborhood sits on what was once the largest fair in new York state in the mid 1800s - early 1900s.
The coin is 1903, in terrible shape, but it was on my bucket list!

I am looking forward to more finds.

Congrats on that first of many bucket listers, and right on your own property yet! Gotta say, as V-nickels go, I have seen and found far worse- you can clearly see the date and V- I'd be thrilled with that one.

Excellent find. My first (believe it or not) was in a coin roll of nickels from a bank.
