Shield, Liberty V, Buffalo, Jefferson. Nickel Week for Nana

[Nana40]

What a lovely week of weather. In fact, it's been so lovely around here, the weeds and vines are already taking notice. :P NOOOOO! I'm not ready for spring! Haven't seen the snakes or ticks yet, but you know at any moment they'll be sure to take up residence at our favorite sites to hunt in the woods. Maybe we'll get another freeze or two yet.

Seems the theme for my hunts this week was nickel. I ended up finding the four varieties of nickels and even a spoon that was marked 'Solid Nickel Silver'? Apparently the spoon isn't silver.





The watch piece looks to be silver plated, found a few buckles, always the lead to be found...(let me know if there are any keepers in this batch, pretty please) and a neat thimble. Found two toe taps and a great little cufflink that has a tiny little stone. It still has the gold color on the back.








Maybe I'll get lucky next week and have 'one cent week'. Still looking for that LC. :P

HH! Find somethin' good!

Nana

That is a great shot of the largest of the woodpeckers found here Nana - the Pileated Woodpecker - awesome!


You definitely have a fantastic group of finds but that shield nickel is my fave...

 

[warsawdaddy]

Wow!I see your shirt,you huntin' topless now?Can't wait for CTH if that's the case.
Terrific finds!I'll have to check on that spoon.Some really old spoons that are silver have no markings,some marked with a number,i.e.,300,800,etc meaning they are 30%,80% silver.I suspect the spoon is plated.Great nickels.

Wow Nan, you are ON a roll (I see you're getting ready for the festivities in Caldwell )

Gotta love those Shields

 

[ModernMiner]

Holy smokes Girl, you cleaned house! Those different nickels are great. I hardly ever find nickels.
Excellent variety of relics Nana.
What is that "secret society" Mike mentioned? Is it just for the under 40 crowd? No wonder Quindy and I aren't in it.
Congrats,
Dug

Here's your nickel silver--

Nickel silver, also known as German silver,[1] Argentann,[1] paktong,[2] new silver,[1] nickel brass,[3] or alpacca (or alpaca),[citation needed] is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc.[4] In fact, all modern, commercially important nickel silvers (such as those standardized under ASTM B122) contain significant amounts of zinc, and are sometimes considered a subset of brass.[5]

Nickel silver is named for its silvery appearance, but contains no elemental silver unless plated
