MY FIRST LIBERTY NICKEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JJS NEW ENGLAND]

HUNTED A FIELD TODAY FOR AN HOUR WITH MY PARTNER AND FOUND THIS 1907 V NICKEL AT ABOUT 6 INCHES UNDER A PRETTY BIG ROOT. IT IS A FIRST FOR ME SO I AM VERY PLEASED ABOUT IT. MY PARTNER SCORED AN INDIAN HEAD PENNY FROM 1906 JUST BEFORE WE LEFT THE PLACE WE HUNTED. WE ALSO MET A NEW HUNTING PARTNER WHICH IS COOL. TURNS OUT I ALREADY KNOW HIM WHICH IS A PLUS. WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON ALL OF OUR TASTY FINDS. I SCREWED UP THE BACK OF THE NICKEL WITH MY TOOL WHICH IS WHY I HAVE NOT SCANNED IT YET. STILL UPSET ABOUT THAT. ITS ALL THE ROOTS FALT ANYWAY.

My best finds are always under roots, what's up with that? I guess the harder you work the more rewards you get. Great find on that one too!

If I found 1 of those, I'd be pleased too. Good job. Congrats.

Don't beat yourself up TOO BADD, we have all scratched a coin or 2 in our HASTE to see what we found. I'm sure you will be more careful in the future with that Barber quarter your about to find. !!!

Yeah, don't sweat it about the scratch. We all do it from time to time.

good job man , I was trying those woods when you left but I couldn't handle those thorn bushing raping me. The coin actually looks better in person then the picture.

I DONT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY SCANNER. THE COIN LOOKS LIKE CRAP IN THE PIC. THERE ARE SOME SPOTS I WILL TAKE YOU TO WITH THAT DFX. YOU WILL FIND SOME MORE SILVER AND SOME COLONIALS. WE WILL FIND MORE OUT OF THAT FIELD. IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME BUT IT WILL HAPPEN.

JJS, Your first Liberty rocks!!
It's far better that you scratched that instead of a super-rare gold.

(Scan the back of that nickel anyway and one of us will fix-er up in Photoshop. . . she'll LOOK good as new )

Take care & HH!

Still looking for my first V Nickle. Don't worry about the scratch, I have damaged my share in cleaning or digging. Dose not matter much anyway if you get a dug coin graded it will most likely grade as (DUG).

Nice find!

Keep @ it and HH!!
