Today I started out with hunting off in a side yard of my Grandmothers place where an apple tree used to reside. Had a super low tone that read approx in the region that I had recently changed on my smart-mask pattern to accept a three cent nickel test target. I ended up finding a unidentifiable disc reddish brown, which I initially thought was a nickel of some sort then later thought was play money perhaps. on getting home I had to give it some heavy buff to make out anything on it. But soon a 5 with some stars was visible and then I was a happy camper for sure. Those shield nickels are hard to find and this one was from my Granny's yard also making it extra special! Thank you Coiltek the 15 inch W.O.T. is turning out to be a good investment!!! The other nickels came from an old church yard. That had been no till planted with corn last year was rough swinging there.

Heres the accumulated relics from last few days: The horseshoe was an eyeballed find at Granny's yard a plowed area.
Top left part of picture is a mystery lead ball type item, so added a back side shot of it. Any ideas on what this items use was?
See the Red foil "Meadow Gold" wonder how old the milk foil cover is?
Had fun outside today, even tho no silver was found it was a good day!

TY for looking!

CARM

Ah Granny's house, found my first Indian Head Penny there, I was about 7 years of age and found it when planting an apple seed. Any finds there, regardless of condition, will be added to sweet memories. I vaguely recall those heavy foil covers on the milk bottles the milk man would deliver to the homes so that would be late 40's or early 50's. I also can remember being at Granny's home and watching the Fish Monger in his horse drawn wooden wagon calling out to people he had fish for sale, that's back when money had real value and the shiny silver coins were made of silver!

Great coins with some history to them, HH!..............63bkpkr

:icon_thumright: Love your beautifully worn old nickels! They probably changed hands many times before being lost. Looking forward to your next finds! Andi
