A couple of firsts for me. Had never dug a shield nickel or a V nickel before. I think maybe someone with a minelab had been in this yard and dug all the high tones. Hard to believe I never pulled a wheat or merc out of this yard, but 3 old nickels. The 1896 V was the first signal I dug, after swinging for 30 seconds maybe, the 1868 shield and the 1882 shield were all in a 12 foot radius and all between 4 and 5 inches. Something peculiar about the date on the 1882, and thought I had an overdate at first, but I'm now pretty sure it is whats referred to as a 'filled 2'. The silver quarter and and sterling charm were way in the back of the property. The silver charm also has a neat back mark that I'm not sure about, but almost looks like a race car. I opted to try a cleaning method on 2 of the nickels, just because they are only for my collection. I like the way they turned out, I could get all the purple of the shield but I'm gonna leave it. The button was a tailor here in town in the 1870's. Anyway, thanks for looking all, HH, Griff
