Some Civil War finds today...

Got 2 eagle cuffs but one was in pieces, a Zouave button w/ shank, pocket knife, 2 frags, 2 case shots, some fired & dropped bullets (the spencer broke apart in the clod), 1 flattened 1960 nickle, & 2 brass thimbles.

Nice finds. What's the oval thing at the bottom?

flattened nickle

Are flattened nickels this large and oval? Have you seen flattened nickels like this before? If so, why are they prevalent? Thanks

This is the first nickle I have seen like this. Maybe a rail road track flattened coin. Or one of those tourist shop machine flattened ones.
