Dave And I Were Out On The Cutoff Again, Today


Recommended Posts


So that's what a V nickel is supposed to look like? Wish the coppers around here held up that good I'd make a mint.

Wonder if we can call this V-Day?

I'd say we can!...LOL Fortunately for me, the alkaline soil here may turn them red, but it doesn't chew them up. The first coin I ever found was an 1889 V, and I found one other just inside the CA border from Nevada. it was laying on gravel and not in contact with the soil, so is nearly perfect. It's a1900.

Congratulations Jim. Appears you really enjoyed your hunt.  Just keep at it, you might end up with an old gold coin one of these days.

Now That WOULD make my day, Mark....LOL It's interesting that none of the coins we've found was old enough to be lost by the emigrants. That mostly ended by 1884.
