Congrats on the old coin!

That 5x8 coil works great in trashy areas!

I have determined that it's an 1866, (first year) with rays. I wish the date was more readable to see if it's over-stamped but I can just see the 6 under magnification.

Nice old Shield nickel. A hard one to get your coil over. WTG

The AT Pro is a rock star, I did very well with that machine when I owned one. Congratulations!
