Nice looking coins.
 

You opened the flood gates and will dig many more. Grats and thanks for the share.
 

Your war nickel out of the ground is much nicer looking than the ones found in circulation. Circulated have a dirty dingy look from the manganese. I was at a coin show and saw a set of uncirculated war nickels. When new, they look like normal nickels.
 

Fantastic, mine come out of the ground covered with a 1/4 inch of black crud which take forever to clean.
 

Well done knocking that one off the bucket list- those are tricky to find. The rest of the coins are excellent as well- Congrats!
 

There’s a good bit a nails, bottle caps and other trash masking the signals in this spot.
Dug this nickel and my first response was: A nickel? That was not a nickel signal…. Oh wait it’s a 45!
 

Congrats on your first War Nickels and the rest of your coins.
