Nice finds teleman It's a start, I bet there's more there yet to be found.

Great! A Shield give you a good timeframe for when there was activity on the road. The wear on the coin suggests at least 10 years worth of wear to me, which gives you a time frame of 1875-1893. Finding a nickel of any kind tells me you are looking slowly, carefully and methodically: exactly the traits needed to find older coins. Stone walls: bet that took a lot of hours to create, and a lot of stone. Was there a local source, or was it brought in from another location?

A little photo touchup makes the last number look like an 8.
so i would guess 1868
