Found a shield today

[John Deere Digger]

detected a site today that I think has been hit alot. No good targets at a very old house. Decided to dig all the iffy targets I could find, and after what seemed like a 100 pieces of can slaw, out popped this baby. Not in good shape but a first for me. Looks like an 1875.

Thats amazing! No place is ever hunted out! Thats what people on this forum always say and they are right! Nice job!

Thanks slippperyjack. that's the first thing I saw when I logged on, Someone else found one too. I think his is worth a little more though. Mine is a little better than the picture, I can't get good pictures of corroded coins.

Congrats, very nice find if you dug 100 bits of can slaw before you dug that I give you a pat on the back for the effort. GL and HH

Thanks, Rudy2003-crazyjarhead and richdigger. I dug alot of trash targets before finding this one. Was concentrating on the low conducters, lead, can slaw and a few buttons- hoping to find a few missed coins. I guess I will have to clean out the iron to see if there a any missed silver.
