That’s a nice find. For whatever reason, nickels are hard to find. I find a slew of dimes, but few nickels.

I never find dimes past the sixties. It is what it is though I'm sure one day I'll find atleast one to throw in the pot.

Welcome to TreasureNet -- I see you just joined in the last day or two and your first "pocket" or "dropped" coin posted was a nice older 1941 Nickel. Are you planning to get a metal detector and if so what kind? I know before my first detector which was over 48 years ago I would find a lot of coins on the ground AND I was always looking and loved exploring & hunting old arrowheads in plowed fields in Illinois when I was younger. GOOD LUCK & Happy Hunting to ALL

All of my collection is pocket change i have not felt the need to buy to add to my collection yet. I have some 1919 wheat pennies that look great for their age to have been found in pocket.

I don't have a metal detector unfortunately. I just go through my change and exchange cash for rolls where I can and when I can afford to. maybe one day though lol.

GREAT! What got me "collecting coins" was going through my change & then my FIRST job after High School & a couple years of Business College was working as a Bookkeeper for a small Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Illinois --- and I had to check in the Delivery Drivers that serviced all the COKE machines all over the city --- and I had to count their change and verify their receipts......AND while going through all their change I would save a nickel or dime that was a better date(replace it of course from my change) ....and the GOOD thing this was in the years 1960 thru 1963 when ALL of the dimes were SILVER and 1/2 of them were still MERCURY's and YES about half the Nickels were INDIAN HEAD/BUFFALO's . Thanks for looking

Congrats on your find. If you do decide to purchase a detector do some research first to see what would suit your area and your usage best then shop around. You don't necessarily have to spend a fortune to enjoy the hobby. Many vendors offer great deals on used machines that they take in on trade. Seems like about every three years a company will come up with something everyone feels they need so lots of used machines are for sale at once.
