Got out to a spot I've been hitting for the last couple months and managed to find my first shield nickel! Then went back two days later and found another one! They're toasted but I'm stoked! Hoping a gold coin pops up. This site is an old 1890s fairgrounds site.
HH,
Mike

Nice finds. Most shield nickels are toast, if you can ID by type, you did alright.
 
Those are some really great finds!:thumbsup: Congrats
 
If that Barber dime has an S mint mark you are going to get alot happier .
 
congrats still searching for my first shield
 
You don't usually find 'em that old here in Cali. My oldest nickel is a 42-D (not silver). Dig the nickel signals!!!!! (Or just dig every signal)
