Good short hunt

[Nate’s metal detecting]

I return to a site were a town used to be and before today I had just found 1 IHP and a few pieces of lead. I don’t know for sure if this site ever saw much civil war activity like a camp but there was some in the area nearby. Today I found my second V nickel the date was 18-something. Also found a buckle, flat button, and a a few pieces of lead. Not sure if the item in the top right of the finds is a bayonet scabbard or not.

Looks like you hitting the right area. Keep going.
V nickels are always nice finds.

Pretty good results from a short hunt... that site has potential!!

I would say keep your nose to the grindstone but coil to the dirt seems way more appropriate!!!

Nice finds, Nate!! Not sure about the brass piece either. If it is one, probably locally made.

Congratulations Nate. There is definitely more to be found there. V nickels are always good to find. Not sure if that is a scabbard tip. I’ll have to do some research on it. I haven’t seen one like that before.

Thank you, I was very happy that I was able to identify what the nickel was. When it first came up I was really questioning it.

Great stuff Nate! I haven’t been able to get out since we have -30 degrees with wind chill and a foot of snow...

Thanks! Hope you have a good time detecting when the snow is all gone, or at least you might be able to find some goodies in coin rolls!!

Nice finds any V nickels I find very rarely are in good shape except some from my beach hunts go figure??
