    1889 V nickel

    I went back to the hunted out park today. I was there for a few hours using Magics program again looking for old nickels. I have been paying close attention to the bouncy signals in the nickel range. I ended up with 5 nickels 4 dimes and 10 pennies, one of the nickels being an 1889 V. I would post a pic but i'm too tired. lol It's been a long week and i was tired when i went hunting, swomething just told me i had to go.

    Nice job! My oldest coin is a 1891 V nickel i found last week. First one ever. Since then I have found 2 more, 1905, 1907, its funny how those things work.

    Nice score at the park.
    V's are great to find, especially ones in the 1800's.
    Congrats.
