1st Ring & 1948 nickle made for a great day at the park!

Found all this at the park again today. Unfortunately the ring isn't worth the quarter that bought it out of the hand crank vending machine it came from. I was surprised to see the 1948 nickle is worth a couple of dollars.

Usually the price guides are for non dug coins. When I find a coin I check the ended auction listings on eBay and look for coins in similar condition. Being in the ground affects the appearance and quality of a coin and thus its value. A. Couple years older and she'd be a war nickel!

What I had found said in "Poor" condition its still worth about 1.50
