Default New Record
I broke my record for old V nickle the other day while detecting in a small city park. At 7" I found this 1883 V nickle w/cents. This broke my oldest V nickle date by 4 years. I also found a 1889 IH, 1925, 1940, and 1945 Wheat. HH

That's a nice looking "V" -- lots of detail still shows. Congrats!

I believe I need a vacation in SD. We find way too much clad in CA! Nice looking coin, someday I hope to be blessed with a similar find!

Default VDI reading for that nickel?
Hey Deepbeep,

I've got an MXT also and I'm curious if you recall what VDI number showed for that nickel? I haven't found anything quite that old yet - but I look forward to the day.

It was bouncing around in the penny/ zinc penny area. Im not sure why because that is not the nickle zone. It repeating from every direcction I swung the coil over it. HH
