My 2nd date with "V" this week - She's gotten older though

Tuesday I scored my first dated "V" nickel in the woods at the plantation. It was a 1905 some of you may recall.
Today at lunch I ventured out there again and was able to find Ms. "V's" older sister, Ms. 1902. She was a pretty little thing hiding next to a huge pine tree about 4" deep. I thought it would be a modern Jefferson that maybe a hunter had dropped years ago, but to my surprise it was 106 yrs old. Yeah Baby!!!
I was also able to recover a deep 3-ringer that barely gave off a signal out there. I was happy to find these that deep out in the woods. It gives me hope that there could be more goodies waiting to be found. Believe it or not, not one shotgun shell today.
I gave the V a hot peroxide bath for a few minutes to clean it. Would you leave it as-is now? I seem to have a knack of over cleaning and making coins worse the more I clean them. This one now has a nice smooth finish on it.
Thanks for looking,
MM

I'm trying to find her grandmother, but I'd settle for her Mom right now.

Nice, Doug!!!

You're on a roll!!!

Funny, I found a buffalo nickel 2 inches down and that V I had was only around 5".

Looks like you're going to enjoy many hours of relaxing swinging around that plantation...

You Dog ... Older Sisters are always a Great Score ...
Love the Lead to my man ... Perhaps there is more to be found in the Woods ...
Continue to Rock On & Persevere ~ Nick

Thanks Nick.
I may attempt a long hunt there on Saturday. I'm debating that or going back to the park to look for more rings. Hmmmmm.
Rock on with your bad self!

Where in the heck is that 1800's silver hiding at?
I started using my headphones again now that it's cooler, and there is no way to hear any signal in the crackling leaves out in the woods without them. I just hope Big Foot doesn't sneak up on me.

Congrats on the older "V" nickel. As for cleaning it further, I don't think you can get it any cleaner you did a great job Good Luck

I know nickels are tough to clean.
It was so cool to see a coin instead of a shotgun shell head in the hole.

Congrats, Doug, on your 2nd V. You're inching closer to the 1800's era.

On your V Nickel....I clean mine with a little distilled white vinegar and salt. Dissolve a teaspoon or so of salt in a small glass cup with white vinegar. Place your nickel in for 30-60 minutes. After this, take nickel out of solution and rub a little moistened baking soda on it using your thumb and index finger of both hands. Repeat process again if necessary. Check one of my nickels out that I did this way...big improvement.

Good luck on your next hunt!!

Dan,
Thank you for that cleaning tip. I'll be trying that for sure.
Your coins always look fantastic!
Hopefully I'll find an 1800's soon.
Thanks big guy.

Cool V nickle! Those are rare finds for anyone. You sure dig alot of CW bullets. Must have been alot of activity in your area. I've only found 4 drops in all the years I've been detecting here in TN. I lived in Hickory NC for about 10 years but had kinda got out of detecting and into girls. Guess I should have got my priorities straight and pounded some ground while I lived there.

So you got out of detecting for GIRLS? Are you crazy? Detecting is so much cheaper.
Yeah, I feel pretty lucky to work & live in an area that had a little CW action. Most of my CW finds have been all within a 1/2 mile radius. Troops camped in the area.
Have a great weekend.
