Found 1912 S V-Nickel and old brass button

This is my first V nickel. I am going to try and clean it up better.

Awesome finds........

Yes they are. I am going back there to cover the whole area and grid off the hill where I found these two items. I believe where there is one or two, there are maybe more to find.

Good idea to grid the area. Slow and steady, and overlap each swing by 50% of the coil.

Nice find! One of the better dates with mint mark. Mintage only 238,000! I found one about 9 months ago in a S.F. park, but can't tell if it's a S or a D. Mint mark turned into a dot from being in the ground.
Probably is a S since it was found in S.F.

Go S.F. Giants!!!

Yes, an uncommon find with decent value if a 12-s, I can't tell for sure from the pic. Congrats!

 

[Lowbatts]

Congrats on that first V! I think those are awesome nickels!

Great finds Dave~


I think the button is a 1900's civilian garment.

Good finds~!

I'll second that! Griding is the best way to go. Even if you don't find anything, you'll know the area has been thoroughly covered. Grid it and dig every signal above iron.

If I was you I would dig all signals. Even the iron ones you never know what you will find....Matt
