Cabin Fever Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We’re having a mild winter here in the Pacific NW, so I went out for a few hours today in search of some thawed ground and old coins. I did a little spot hopping to stay on diggable ground within this early 1900s park and was able to come home with an above average number of V Nickels. It’s not uncommon for me to come home with a couple Vs in one hunt but I think 5 is a new record for me. I also managed a a crusty wheat penny, a 1906 D Barber Dime and a Spokane United Railways Token. The little token was past 8” which I would have never believed possible until I dug it. They are very small and thin. It’s always nice to be able to get out in January in this neck of the woods.. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use steel wool with a little dish soap and water, or SOS pads. I try to leave a little color on the coin if I can to help bring out the details. I use a small piece so I can control the cleaning. It’s easy to over do the rim. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Idaho Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 NIce V's! First coin I ever found was an 1889 V. Found it while nugget hunting, using the GMT. Yours are in good condition. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
