A 3 cent nickel and Spanish Real made my day!

[Ammoman]

It?s been a while since I have posted.

Anyhow I?m still alive and getting stronger every day.

Here is my take on an 1820 permission.




When I first dug the nickel I thought it was a worn out penny or a clad dime but after a couple of minutes the Roman numeral 3 emerged and BAM! My favorite find of the day announced it’s self.


This is about as clean as I can get it. It’s starting to flake on the edges so I don’t know if I will ever get a positive date.


The Real is pretty slick but I was able to get the last two numbers of 81 making it a1781


The ring looks to have a gold band but the stone and setting look like costume jewelry. Not sure how old it is but I would guess early 1900?s


The thimble is made of silver and reads J. B. Schafer Jeweler

Nice bunch of finds! What's that larger coin sized object? Token? Are those holed items tool tags? Key fobs?

Outstanding finds- Congrats! 30+ years in this hobby and I've never dug a 3 cent coin of either type, so I'm certainly envious!

I have no clue what the large round thing is. It’s very heavy and has a design on both sides. Here is a close up.

I believe the holed items are live stock tags.


And I did find three tokens. I believe they might be from the same establishment.
