Got a rayed shield nickle

Some of ya'll may remember that I was dig'in at a old store in Calvert (wood floor tore out) and getting some great coins. Then they cemented over it b-4 I could sift it all, well they are now cementing behind the store and I was able to bring home two loads of dirt on my trailor B-4 my tires gave up. So I been M.D.ing, spreading, sifting, and picking when I get a chance, I am currently running water across the second load on the trailor and figure I'd just erode it away. Today I pulled out this, its a 1866 with rays, and cleaning up pretty good for a nickle, I also got a 1928 buffalo That I dident scan.

Sweet coin. Were you bringing that dirt home just to check it for old coins? IF so, you get the effort of the month award.
