Only one today, but it's a keeper

Nice looking shield nickel today. Nice to find one that isn't dated 1866 or 1867. Found in an area that I have covered a couple times in the last month. Have been pulling up pieces of brass in this area, like light bulb bases, that hit in the same range on the VDI. So sometimes it pays to gradually clean the trash out of an area.

Your shield nickel is in great shape! I agree with your thought about cleaning trash out of a productive area. There's always something more to find. Congrats!
