Got back to that site where they pulled sand from under our 100+ year old boardwalk. They had moved it around some so I tried it agian today. Came up with a 1915-S Wheat and a 1904 V Nickel, rough shape.

Hey, that's a great looking V, compared to our area. You can see all the details. :yes: Nice finds. Gotta love them moving dirt around. Do you dig any of the iffy targets? When I do moved dirt around here, I noticed a lot of good finds came from less than stellar sounding hits. Some were junk, but some were coins on edge. I'd hit that area any time you can.

Very nice, Ron! I'm not sure I would consider that one to be in rough shape. I can clearly see many of the details, and liberty is quite legible. That is a very nice nickel. Most of the nickels I dig up out here are in sorry shape, but that one really held up well. thumbsup01

WTG Ron. That's a beautiful V Nickel. Very nice detail. I've only dug one V and yours look 10 times better than mine. thumbsup01

Very nice V nickel.... a quick bath in acetone should clean it nicely. Rinse with alcohol and then hot running water. Blow dry. RickO

Come on over John! It's right there in front of the construction on the new Haunted Castle near the roller coaster! :twirlingeyes:

Thanks for all the suggestions and commets folks, Guess this is a better find then I first realized! :smitten:

It was coated in kinda a green sand crust when I found it and I didn't know what I had!?! I gave it a soak in vinigar & salt and then rinsed it, that's about all I've done to it. This is only the 2nd V I have found so far.
