Went on a short hunt.. not a bad day...

1898 V-Nickel
1905 V-Nickel
1907 Indian Head

Indian head was on edge and hugging a root. That corrosion is the part exposed outside of the root. I also was working with the X-5 coil by SunRay, since the spot was pretty trashy. Both Vs were sniffed out with the X-5. It's a good coil, but I need lots of work with it.

It was cool to break the 1900 barrier again today, and out of all the V-Nickels I've found in my lifetime.. this is the only one that is pre-1900.

Thanks for lookin'
