Went out today with Twistidd and Watercolor out in the woods again. We bumped around to a few places then decided to go back over to where Twistidd found his 2 Barber dimes last week. This is what I found, an 1867 (no rays) Shield Nickel!!! This is my 2nd oldest coin that I found!!! This coin still has the edge around the rim and all of the high relief details on it but the ground wasn't kind to it, but I am super happy that I found it, heck I haven't even found a V-Nickel yet this year! I also found a 1919 & 1946d Wheaties.

The new pix arn't in the best focuse but thats the best I could get it while taking a pix like 2 inches from the camera. But its clearly an 1867!!! :tongue3:
