Yay :happydance01: it's so fun to find firsts! Here's my first V nickel 1891, one of less mintage
I'll brag on Dave he found 1897 IH & 1888 IH and 1900 V nickel too :clapping:

All 4 of our old coins were found w/in 10 ft of the big tree next to him.

Hunted this house built in late 1700's with friends Missy and Bill on Saturday. It was in the 60's and sunny 8) :happydance01:. The view from the house was nice, pond and Canada geese down below. The wheats are 1913, 1917 & 1920 I had fun photographing my finds lol Last shot is final take, anyone know what kind of buckle in the middle? The musket ball was a surprise- curious what the shield looking piece is... Thought for sure I'd find some silver there! Hopefully go back...

Firsts are great aren't they!! :yes: thumbsup01
Your V nickle looks to be in pretty good shape too! thumbsup01
It's even got that tell tailed red color to it too! :yes:
Did you do a little <: and some happydance02 or maybe you broke out in :happydance01: ? Or did you keep your cool ? 8) lol
I don't find to many musket balls around here :dontknow:
Sweet finds !!
Congrats on V #1!! :grin:
 
Nice Digs Tana,love them V nickles as you know ;),that is one fine old house to tect around...look around and try to determine where the clothes line was ...there will be some silver under them...no idea what the ornate piece is,but pretty cool looking,Keep them coming,Dave
 
I have a buckle similar to that but mine has a star in the middle. Great nickel, you had to be pleased with that. If we ever go through Kentucky again i'll give you a shout out. Are you anywhere near Paducah? :angelic:
 
congrats on the first v nickel, something that eludes me still. i wonder if the shield thing is part of a door knocker? i have one similar on my front door.
 
Congratz!! You go girl!!! :peace: :clapping: :cheering: I have only found two so far, one in the dirt and one in the sand. :beerbuddy:
 
Sweet finds...

Cool pics..love the first house...Must have been a real beaut back in the day....

Nice relics, too. Looks like a couple harmonica parts with your finds....WTG!!
 
Congrats on your FIRST V nickel :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: I think the ornate piece is the plate that sits behind a drawer pull. Not completely sure though . The buckle might be used like a Rosette was...to cover the ring on a horse harness?? Just some guesses. Nice houses for sure.
 
Great finds Tana!!!! Big congrats on your first V!!! I love finding them :happydance01: :happydance01: :happydance01:
That buckle,,,I found one just like it,,,a friend told me it was a Civil War buckle used on a knapsack,,,he hunts Civil War sites all the time thumbsup01 thumbsup01 thumbsup01
 
happydance02 :happydance01: <: congrats on the first V-nickle Tana happydance02 :happydance01: <:

what beautiful looking areas to detect at :envious: with so much history too. :yes:
great looking items the shield looking brass piece is indeed an escutcheon plate (ornate decorative plate ) from a piece of furniture like George said or similar . the brass buckle looks very close to a modern conway on a type of horse harness (they have varied some in the years) . hope you get more time at these places to find some more nice things .
