Nickels from Heaven...lol. 1683 Property, Mass

Hi friends,

John finally had a chance to detect for a little bit yesterday. He found another first for him--an 1871 shield nickel. Also a pretty decent 1921 Buffalo nickel. Another big mystery coin (looks bigger than a large cent) that I will have to work on when I see John next. A tiny gilded button (little gilt left), and other assorted stuff. Hope you all have a nice week! Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John

That's awesome! I'm still looking for my first shield nickel - you don't see those very often. Good job digging those mid-tone signals - that takes persistence.
