Found my first V nickel of the year yesterday

[DANGLANGLEY]

I went back to the field where I found the barber dime a while back and dug about 20 trash items and then got a nickel reading at 6 inches and the pinpointer narrowed it down to 4 inches. I cut a big plug out and flipped it over and saw a round spot in the bottom of the clod where the nickel fell out. I sifted through the dirt and found it and thought "I bet this is an old one". It turned out to be an 1893 V nickel. Yeah buddy, I grinned big as could be for five minutes. I talked to a 85 year old man a while later and he said there used to be houses there back when he was a kid. I guess I better ask him where others used to be. I found a pendant and thought it was old till I cleaned it up. Must not be too old...But it does say "RELIC" on it, lol...You all have a good one

Nice! Sounds like a good idea to figure out where the other houses were. Gotta be more there. The nickel looks good too, how did you clean it? GL finding more old stuff, HH!

The relic medallion usually contains a small sliver of bone from the saint named... Hard to find not really practiced today.. Possible that a nun or preist lost it..

Just looked at the pic again the relic is a few threads of his cape....

Great finds Langley--It pays to talk to old men, I have found my best sites that way.
Here is a link to the biography of the Saint that the relic pertains to.
That is a very special find.
