Best day dirt fishing yet!!!! (1st coin from the 1800's)

I made a visit to my parent's house and boy did it pay off.? I never have found so many wheat pennies in one location before ( all in an area of the front yard about 40ft by 10ft. I also found this play nickel, which looks to be aluminum.? Best of all... I FOUND MY FIRST COIN FROM THE 1800's :o...barely.? That was my last find for the day.? I was ready to pack it in and out pops my first indian head.? What a great way to end the day! I hope you all enjoy the pictures!?

P.S.? If you have any info on the play nickel, it would be appreciated.

Just play money, some came in games, mostly they came just as "Play Money", to play with. I have 2 of the same one, one dated 1950, and the other 1954. I love metal play money. Coooool.

Congrats on your first indian. It's always a thrill to get a first. I'd say there's more in that yard. Go back slow down dig anything that breaks the threshold. Dig the nails to. Good luck hope to see some more good finds in the future.
