I found the coins 3 wheat pennies 2 buffalo pennies and a copper coin that I see the 1900 liberty nickel, same image ( which is pretty worn) and size but it is copper. So not sure what it is exactly is. I tried to zoom in the best I could, if you have any ideas please let me know

Hey TTH,
I've never heard the phrase 'buffalo pennies' do you mean Indian Head? Your nickel is just that but it has been coated with something that makes it look like it is copper. You had a good hunt along with a three ringer slug that looks like a dropped one. How far down were these items? Keep swinging...............63bkpkr

Dug nickels have that corrosion in the pic. They don't do well in most soil. I've never dug one with a silver color that wasn't recently dropped and on top of the ground, in a tot lot mulch, or a war nickel that has silver content. Nice v nickel!

Here is a link about the liberty/v nickel talking about it being 75% copper. Not real sure as new to the coin aspect. Yes meant Indian head not buffalo. Found a bunch of three rings in the field I'm in , most are anywhere between two and 4 inches .

That's called a "dryer coin", it is a coin that rolls around in a clothes dryer until it wears like that.
