A few nickels

[Turbo21]

Back to the half dollar yard and all the good signals are long gone. So now that the cherry picking is done I started digging the mid tones. I pulled 2 buffs a1918 and a dateless buff. Also got a 1903 v nick

Also found a huge flat button which doesn't seem to fit in with the site (1900). No back marks

Also found a suspended clip and a huge brass buckle

I'm surprised you aren't having trouble with frozen ground.

That button is very interesting looking. it has a lot of details on BOTH sides. Would love to see it when it's all cleaned up, it's prob. earlier than u think.
Congrats on the nicks too!

I'm surprised you aren't having trouble with frozen ground.

The yard where these came from is like a small field. Really long grass like 6". The snow packed it down enough to swing. And after some super human strength lol. I am able to get a hole dug. The first 2" is frozen. But after that it's pretty good

The v nick was actually sandwiched together with its obverse touching a Wheatie I think that's why it's detail is so good. It must of been dropped fairly early after being minted with a full Liberty still showing. It's a shame that nickels rot so much in the ground

My favorite find is, without a doubt, the flat button. I would be quite happy to never find another buffalo or V if I could find a nice big button with shank every time.

It was my favorite find also. Wish I could get more info about it. But no back marks probably kills that

I will add my other find from that hunt later
I keep forgetting to take a picture of it

It is a lead flute player solider. Pretty neat piece

Nickels vary they can be in great condition or readless the only buffalo nickel I found while metal detecting besides the cache was orange and you could even see the Indian! To be fair it was on a beach though!

Here is the little toy soldier I dug on the same day as the nickels. Everything found at this site has been turn of the century so I am guessing he is from the same era. No markings on him. Any help on Id would be appreciated
