Default My Second V-Nickel

I got out for a short hunt yesterday morning and didn't have to go far, right out in my own backyard. I decided it had been too long and I needed a fix. I took out the X-70 and went to my garden spot(nothing planted this year) where I pulled a couple of wheats and my only buffalo nickel a couple years ago. Worked it for a few minutes and picked up a couple of pieces of trash a buckle piece and then got a decent signal. Dug a hole and it ended up in the dirt pile. Searched by handfulls of dirt till I had it in hand. Pulled out a round disk, flipped it over and saw a V on it. Brought it inside and cleaned it up a bit and had a 1912 V-Nickel which is only my second V-Nickel ever. Happy Hunting All.
