My oldest nickel to date and first shield nickel

[LaGold]

Made this find on a last minute hunt I started not to make due to cutting my knee open fairly bad this morning. After super gluing it I decided to make a hunt for an hour or so. As luck would have it shortly after starting the hunt my knee bust back open again. I almost called it quits when the blood started pouring onto my boot. I held out and was I glad I did. I detected my first shield nickel and as it would turn out it was an 1867 w/rays. That's my oldest coin I've detected... I think. My 2nd coin for this field and surprisingly they have both been nickels. Thanks for looking guys and I'll have a video up on YouTube in the next day or two after we hunt two plantation homes tomorrow. Good luck and HH

Awesome I found my first shield nickel a couple weeks ago it was a 1867 too but no rays.



I hope to find a v nickel in this area too found a buff about 50 yards from the shield.

There has been a few buffaloes found in the same field too along with 1800's silver I just haven't found any silver yet but I'm sure it will come. Hope you get your V nickel soon my friend. Good luck and HH

Thanks I did find a 1893 barber dime in this field in spring. No silvers since but a lot of Indian head cents. I have to get the 5 by 8 coil for my pro. Lots of iron in there. Good luck to you to and hope you find more and get that silver.
