My oldest Wheatie

[Rich in Texas]

Got this one a few weeks ago and had to soak it too. Could not even tell what it was. It came out of the ground near my buddy Don's 1901 V-Nickel. I was hoping for an Indian but I'll take a 1910 Wheatie.

Some soils just don't do a coin any service. Has good definition though. Have you checked the coin books to see what it's worth? I have a 1912s and 1913s that i dug. That are $7.oo and $10.oo respectively. In just good condition. Great find! HH

Nice wheatie Rich. Hope i'll look that good after almost 100 years in the ground.

Beats my find for the day.
My nickel for the day you could tell had words around it and I think I can make out an 80 in the date so I gess its 1880. ?Aw heck if I'm going to guess I'll just tell evryone its an 1800 nickel ? there I feel better all ready with that find.

rvbvetter, you might be suprised. Think I'll have myself buried just outside the cemetary fence with some walkers underneath me.HAHA
Red, sounds like a very rare nickle, an 1880 Jefferson-gotta be worth the price of a new cz-20 at least

stoney; LOL You just might be then. But sprinkle a few above so we can get a signal. lol HH

 

[stoney56]

Nope, gonna put my detector on top of me, you're gonna need it cause it gets those Deep coins maybe even down to 6 feet HH

sweet find, only one wheatie for me so far. about 1/2 dozen detectorists in my littlecity that i know of and about every park and school has been annihilated.

Hey scavenger, when I hunt hunted out places I go where most don't want to go. Get a small coil if you don't have one and get around under bushes and shrubs, go into uncut areas of grass, detect hillsides, etc. Most detectorists like to hit the easy to swing spots. A lot of them will also disc out nickels. A good Buffalo or V-Nickel is awesome when you know the place has been picked clean by others just cherry picking.
