Several wheats, chuck-e-cheese token, bridge token, and a wasted nick (identify?)

It's been tough sledding lately for me...today's finds included a nickel size & vdi coin

I can make out "ates" on the coin, but that's it. would love to be able to determine if it's a v nickel or buffalo, as it would be my 1st notable nickel...any thoughts?

Looks like a V to me.

Buffalo nickels don't normally corrode as bad as shield or V nickels. I'd guesst it's either a V or shield. Congrats on the nice digs.

Careful with the cleanup.
