Very, very nice. Just the shield and V in the same hunt is something to crow about and the buff is a bonus. You'd be my hero if that jefferson was a war nickel. The Equinox is a proven nickel hound straight out of the box, and even better with a few tweaks.
Old nickels from a hunted out park sounds like a great day to me. One day I drove about an hour to a small town to detect a park that looked pretty good on the map. In continual use pre 1900. I figured it had been beaten to death, but it was fairly large and one good find can make an entire hunt. I figured I could score some nickels left behind by others. Nope. The dirt was so quiet it was spooky. Somebody must live across the street and has been hitting it daily for a decade. He was probably watching and laughing at me from his front window! But, you can't know until you get out there and try.
