Hi all, been a while since I've posted. While visiting family this last week I was able to hunt an old property from around 1870.
There were targets everywhere . I really had to Wade through the modern trash and old iron but on the last few hours I found a little hot spot.
I ended up with one 1883 Indian Head, an 1883 v nickle, two shield nickles , several wheats and my very first 3 cent coin (1869).
I also dug a small silver coin of some type,still trying to ID it.
Feels good to get back into some older stuff for a bit.

SWEEET!!! Congrats
 

Great Nickel hunt! The 3cent nickels don't pop out very often and 2 shields in one hunt is cool. The small silverish coin looks like a play money coin. Is it aluminum possibly? Congrats!

Three cent coins are always a great find indeed.

I thought it might be play money but it looks and is heavy like silver. Have to clean it up a bit. No corrosion on it like on old aluminum but I can't see any date either.
 

Cool! "Trickels" don't show up very often.
 

Congratulations! :hello2:
