1893 V nickle and an old pin

[hatpin]

Went back to the wooded area of the park today. Hunted a new area .Found a very nice horseshoe and other assorted rusty things. I had a signal that i thought might be an indian head penny. It turned out to be an old pin. Does anyone recognize the symbols ? A little bit after finding the pin I dug an 1893 V nickle. I think this one is in better shape than any of the others I have.I must be getting close to 70 old coins dug here in the past three years .

Was using the Vaq. ground balanced neutral , minimum disc, sens 10 and threshold on the last O of the tesoro logo.

I also found what appears to be a hand crank screwdriver. Its one piece. there is no chuck.

The symbols on the the pin look like Fleur-de-lis, It's french.

It sounds like you have a good spot to be providing old finds for three years.

Also, thanks for the Model and settings used. I wish everyone would do that. Which coil was mounted?

Best of success on your next trip.

This pin does have French Fleur-de-lis symbols. That is interesting. The first settlement in Northeast Missouri was right down the road two miles , from where I found this. It was a a frenchman who mined salt and sold it in St Louis. He had to have a road to the salt mine and this was found on an old road.. I dont think this pin is that old though.

Monte i was using a 5.75 inch concentric.

That nickel is in great shape, thanks for sharing. Just wondering how did that pin attach? Was it a pin and clasp on the back side?

I just did a quick count and I have found approximately 83 old coins here in three years . Not in one spot. Theres lot of woods and I have found them scattered throughout. The two best were 1914 D penny's found about fifty yards apart. Coins are getting harder to find though. I average one about every two trips.
