My First V nickel and more!

The last two days where fantastic weather here in upstate NY. I was invited to hunt at a farm and also hit a nearby town Green with churches dated 1842 at one end. In the two days using the F70, I got 7 wheaties all at the farm along with the 1914 barber and the the 39 mercury. At the green under the same tree at which I found a barber last year got this barber, 1912. By the sidewalk near the church got the 1891 IH, and was going to skip the nickle as it was only 2 inches deep in some gravel. Dug it anyway and got my first V Nickel, (in very bad shape, 189?) I suppose thats a inventory tag of some sort. It was just a great few days-that I didnt want to end- I am going back next week, thats for sure!
 
Very nice couple days of hunting. Those V's don't come along that often anymore. WTG! HH jim tn
 
Nice looking collection. I have a friend who really isn't that interested in detecting but tagged along on a construction site hunt with me the other night. His first coin, ever dug with a metal detector, my CZ3 D was a 1900 V nickel. It took him a while to realize just how cool that was.
I told him how long it took me to ever find one. They are always fun.

HH, Don

If you haven't yet, try using the small coil in SL mode and work those sidewalks some more, I use the 6" oval and it goes plenty deep in SL, 40 sens., 0 threshold, works good in my soil. Love those barbers. HH
 
The past week or two I went to like a 15 disc, and pushing the sense, (even to 90). At the farm the 2F tone really did seem to get me some depth. When I get a favorable indication I use the SL, to give me a closer look so to speak; it seems to clear things up although I cant seem to use SL full time, for me it gets too noisy. I use the same set up at the park and sometimes with a 3 tone. Today near the churches I got a 1910 wheat back and an 1886 Indian Head, as well as a gold plated religious medallion. I havent yet purchased a small coil although I hear I should. Trying to beat the impending snow and cold, Im going back to the farm, tommoro. Thanks, Curt o
