Very nice copper recoveries and two nickels are a great bonus!
 

I've had great success cleaning dug nickels with Aluminum Jelly.
 

shields are harder to find that an honest politician, should clean up nicely, same as the IH's
 

Congrats on pulling those 7 keepers, 5 IHPs and 2 Vs :headbang: Hope one of those V's is an 1880 for your sake. Wouldn't that be wonderfull. :occasion14: Your Vs are in way better condition than most I have seen or the one I dug.
 

Those are nice looking shields. I have about a half a dozen none of them or anywhere near as nice as this. You can barely tell what they are. I would not do too much cleaning if I were you.

Hey loco, their shields not v's
 

Nice job man, them IH'S should clean up nice...
 

Well I know one of them is 1866 or 1867 because of the rays. Doubt I'll get dates though. My cleaning efforts usually make them worse so I'll probably just leave em be
 

You're right about the Rays, but the dates are so small on those series that it's an often lost detail. I've only gotten dates from about half of mine if that. But 1866 or 1867 are awesome early dates. Congrats on the X2
 

Great job on the 2 Shields. That is one of 2 coins that I still have on my bucket list also.
 

Congrats on your bucket listers!!
It always happens in two's.
And nice INJINS! !

If someone hadn't come through this site back in the day and dug most of the high tones, I probably would have got my seated and or Barber quarter bucket listers. I guess their still could be a trime or 3 cent nickel here???

Awesome digs, nothing like a twofer off the bucket list.
 

Those shield nickels are nice compared to the ones i found good find
 

Could be a silver hiding under one of the coppers, never say never until it all goes quiet in the headphones.

They're still a lot of mid-low tones here but haven't heard a deep high tone here in some time
 

Nice looking hand full of coins! Congrats on the score.
