1 hunt 1 coin

[z118]

I got out this evening for a bit, but every spot I went to was filled with people walking, playing, practicing, etc. The warm weather is nice but the trouble is it brings everyone else out too... I kind of miss the cold March weather when it seems like I have the whole world to myself. At any rate I wound up at a wooded spot of mine that I wasn't too excited about hunting as my last few hunts there have not produced anything of note. Beggars can't be choosers though and it was nice just to get out. I dug the usual trash along with a fragment of a large bell, an old pocket knife, and a few casings. Finally I got a coin tone, the numbers were 5-12 but it sounded like a nickel so I was pretty confident it would be one. I was very hopeful it would be my first shield nickel but instead it was a worn 1911 V nickel. Not a bad find find for me at all, and it was nice to head home with one coin at least.

Happy hunting...

8/ Oh man! When I seen your title I thought for sure you got one off your list! lol
So close! You got the right coin for me to win the guess.... it just needs to be a liiiiiiittle bit older. lol
\Still a nice find! I rather find only one old coin in a hunt rather than a bunch of clad any day! thumbsup01
Congrats! :grin:

:wow:

Even when you find 'nothing', you find something. A 'V' nickel still eludes me.

Continued good hunting.
