first timer, first find

[tyrocksalot]

So i didnt do any research or anything just wanted to figure out how to use a detector. Hit some sidewalk tearouts and a city park circa 1915. Found about 100 pull tabs and this. Now i know youre not supposed to clean coins i never do ever except this nickel was solid red and my first detector find so i shined it up. No date shield nickel .

it all starts somewhere, then you have to have this and then you find that and the next thing you know, you are slowly adding finds and excited about what you have dug up. except for the modern clad and modern junk or trash, you are digging history and that nickle is pure history

Lol i can already tell im gonna have alot of toys.

Congratulations on your first find, and a Shield Nickel at that!!

Since the date is unreadable, we'll just say it a 1800 Shield Nickel, only worth a minimum of around $1000 even is the condition your's is in!!
