Nice finds....see, they are still out there just waiting to be found! :)
The sad part is that it did not give a good or bad signal the signal was so bad i almost did not dig but do to the fact that it was a sidewalk tear up i dug all signals.

Nice hunt. :)

Could you find a date on that shield, NE? The nickles look pretty rough in my neck of the woods, too. :(

Never mind...I see it...1867. :) :o

Those sidewalks always seem to generate some great finds, unfortunately they aren't tearing anything up around here. Maybe I should take things into my own hands..... ;D Anyone have a jack hammer?

Very nice N.E. Those shields are hard to come by. I found my first (and only) this year too. Maybe they are coming into season... Congrats...Lance
