She's a long way from home

Well, I'm MD'ing this pea gravel park thats been around maybe 20 years and I noticed something strange- I was pulling square nails and old bullet shells that should bot be there. Plus, old metal pipes and glass was showing up. So, I'm minding my business when I get a nickel signal. Just and inch or two down where the pea gravel and the dirt met, I pulled a coin from my most wanted list- A 1903 V Nickel! I also pulled a buck and a half battery money too. (plus a green wheaty from the first hunt)

I think that there must have been a pier or house on the river or shore where they sucked this gravel out of...

Cool! If they pulled that gravel from the water, you may get lucky and score a gold ring or two.
