Hit my shield nickel site yesterday, 1 more nickel!

[Oldrvrrat57]

Hit the my shield nickel site for a few hours yesterday and added 1 more to the shield nickels that I've pulled from this homesite, this was number 16. A few buttons and a 1882 indian head penny. The pocket knife if from the New York knife company that was in business from 1851 till 1938.

16 ?! Wow that's crazy

Looks like you also found a jaw harp….or what’s left of one.

Is there any writing (front or back) on that star button?

That place is amazing with all the nickels, congrats!

That is a lot of shield nickels from one site! Congrats. Has this site produced any silver from the same time period?

They all came from the same homestead, makes me wonder why so many nickels, not complaining but I with it would have been silvers!! Lol

Clearly they were running an illegal nickel slot gambling operation….
