I haven`t posted for quite awhile because I have not had many decent finds for awhile. I have not had any problem getting permissions, but very few have
panned out this year. The last few hunts I hit permissions that had already got hit and all I got was the leftovers!

The shield nickel was a complete surprise, when it came out of the hole it just looked like any other nickel I been digging lately, rang up 12-13 like normal and
I had no clue what it was until I flipped it over and seen the shield! This was a very pleasant surprise as I never thought I would ever see one of these in one of
my holes here in Minnesota!

The yard I got the indians in and the skeleton key I also got two V nickels including my oldest on yet, 1889!

Gonna keep plugging away, never know what may surface next.:laughing7:

That's one of the finest dug shield nickels I've ever seen. Congrats!
 

Very Nice!!! The condition of that Shield Nickel is Awesome!!! Congrats!!!
 

Wow those nickles are by far in the best condition from a dirt nap that I've ever seen!
 

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I`m wondering if I should try to clean the shield nickel a bit, any advice?:icon_scratch:
 

Congrats on the killer old coin shooting! :icon_thumleft:
