Default FIND 2nd character in a string

how do i use the FIND function to get the 2nd character?

for eg:

A1 has 005/0101/78445945/2002

the entire column has strings like the above....

i want only those characters after the 2nd "/" and before the 3rd "/"
what formula to use?

in the above result, the answer should be - 78445945
