New honey hole, and a sweet V nickel...

[Johnny Cache]

My last two hunts are at a spot I think might be really good. So many signals, I think it might be the dump from the old hotel, active around 1900. Also, countless shotgun shells and ammo remnants, which always mean old coins are there too. The only bad part is that this spot is smack dab in the middle of the 8th fairway on the golf course lol. I have exclusive permission, and I dig very carefully.

The old coin purse clasp got my heart pumping, but no coins. The brass(?) wedding band was in that purse though! The V nickel was only a few feet away, can't believe I nicked it. Also found many lead seals from the railway, a pocket watch, a jingle bell, and my first decent thimble. The little tiny ring and toy hat were from a couple nights ago.

I think this spot is gonna be good.

Some really nice finds and looks to be a great spot. That V is one of the nicer dug ones I have seen. She is a beauty. HH jim tn

It looks like its toning even though grading would call it "environmental damage"

Is the thimble silver?

That's the kind of site we all dream of. Wonderfull finds! One of them looks like a minuture hat. Possibly from an early Monopoly game?? Or am I way off base?

That "V" had very nice detail!

Thanks for the compliments on the "V"...

I don't think the thimble is silver, it rang up like a nickel.

The little hat, I was thinking monopoly too, although it could just be part of a toy...
