Got out a few times during my lunch breaks the past week or so and found a few items here and there. I had a great hunt this past weekend where I found a really nice Shield Nik again. This one is an 1876. I came across a shallow 22 signal that I wanted out of the way hoping that it was masking something. I do that often at this particular park that dates back to the 1850's. When I reswept the hole I got an 11-12 and 8 inches deeper was the Shield.

Also included in the hunt was a 1943 dog tag and a Shell Token. I ended the day with the 3 Merry Widows...I took that as a sign and headed home.

I am loving that Shield Nickel! Not only is it in great shape but we rarely see ones from the 1870s posted. Wonderful find, Jared! :clapping:
