Well today was the first real hunt on the new permission. Located the bricks and pottery in the huge field and found these. Dug a ton of junk and I'm sure there are more goodies there. We are told there were 2 home sites at this spot. I believe the shield is first year nickel. Good luck to all. Art

Nice and crispy! Not too many people find anything liberty cap. Congrats!

and at least you can narrow down the date on that shield nickel to 66 or 67.

No it's some kind of pin I think. Two little pieces on the back one is broken. Could also be horse tack adornment?
