Shield Nickel, Barber Coins, Awesome 1872 Wedding Band

[Digger62918]

Got permission to search an old site that dates back to the 1850's. I didnt' find a lot there, but the few finds I did dig were Awesome! Started off by finding my First Ever 1867 Shield Nickel It is in rough shape, but I am Thrilled to find it! Next I dug two barber dimes with amazing details and a nice little musket ball, followed by a V Nickel. Finally, I found probably one of my favorite finds. It is a brass wedding band with a very faint inscription inside that reads 1872. Went I first dug it up it was black, after Alot of cleaning it looks as gorgeous as the day it was lost. I will definitely be going back to this site again and again.

Excellent coins and a nice Brass wedding band. Most of them were plated at one time.


Best Wishes,
