Nice looking coins.
 

Your war nickel out of the ground is much nicer looking than the ones found in circulation. Circulated have a dirty dingy look from the manganese. I was at a coin show and saw a set of uncirculated war nickels. When new, they look like normal nickels.
 

Well done knocking that one off the bucket list- those are tricky to find. The rest of the coins are excellent as well- Congrats!
 

There’s a good bit a nails, bottle caps and other trash masking the signals in this spot.
Dug this nickel and my first response was: A nickel? That was not a nickel signal…. Oh wait it’s a 45!
