Another 1st for Me....

[FooserPaul]

Hello ALL!

I was raining and/or misting all day today n Connecticut...

At about 4:30 there was a little break... and I ran 1/2 mile up the road to one of our closed schools... I've dug 20+ wheats there... an 1899 IH, 1936 S Buffalo, a 1943 P War Nickle... 15 Grams of 14K braclet... a 10K ring and a stearling silver ring... so I've done ok there...

I got in about 90 minutes that found 2 wheaties.... 1914 and 1955.... No D in the '14 or Double Die on the '55...

It was getting dark and I was heading to the car and covering ground that I've been over 10+ times... and I got a strange 48 signal turned 90 deg... and it did not dip into the iron range.. signal was jumping... and I wanted to squeeze out one more coin wishing for something good..

So what the heck... pop the plug... stac the hole with my Pistol Probe... Its down in the hole... feels a few inches further down... dig it out onto my towel... and I can see a "V" !!!

Flip it over....

No so good... :-(

Here is after some basic water and light brushing...

Its an 1899!! My 1st V nickle...

The rest...

Thanks for looking...

Happy Hunting!
Paul

Congrats on the very good find! Wonder what gave it the high reading? Very nice recovery, Beale.

congrats on the V, I never saw a nickel turn green, all the ones I find are red.........you can use vinegar and salt to clean it and get it back to the silver/grey color if you want

Time well spent, Nice haul! How do you like the Pistol Probe?

I love the depth... but... if there is a bit of noise around... you can't hear it... and its is a tad large...

So I carry the 570 & the PistolProbe... 570 for close in and shallower targets...
