Well it gave another V up a 1907. This spot has 3 500 yr old oaks in a 30”x 30” area. I’ve gotten over 30 V nickels out this spot and nothing else not even Buffalos. But today it also gave up my first buckle and a 2 piece button also a first. This is a Western Union button Backmark is "Browning King & CO. W.B.C.O.” Alberts book says its c.1860 to at least 1934 but nothing else. If anyone knows more I’d love to hear it.

Great day today!

I know I’ve never found another V nickel anywhere else. My earliest was a 1898. It’s like somebody just threw a handful as far as they could. And of course I can never find a couple in a hunt they’re always one at a time. But it’s detectorists like you that remind me how fortunate I am with V nics.

Funny thing is my pin-pointer was falsing out and I didn’t see anything. So when I was swiping the chucks of clayish mud back in the hole I got a very slight beep. I cracked that clump open an saw that gold button (gold anything) I almost died. One day I pray I find a coin coin once in my lifetime.

Isn’t that strange though. 2 patches where you find hardly nothing else but that one particular thing. Strange things happen to me like that I also have two places where I’ve found a SLQ and the rest has been clad and st another park the first time I went I found a 1900 Barber Half nothing else and nothing since. I was just dropped because it was deep a very black. I still hard to excepting that park only had that. Weird

Does your f75 give you a higher reading on deepish older nickels? Mine tends to up average them often. Not complaining though!
