The day started out mostly sunny, I think it made it up to around 40° today. :dontknow: With the rains coming in tonight I couldn't stand it any more! :hairpulling: So I grabbed the detector and hit the door thumbsup01 First I went to a home site that I've only been able to find one coin at so far(1865 IH). After about 2 hours of not finding much I decided to leave that site and head back to the 1870's school site that I've had better luck at in the past. Not that it was a action packed hunt. Heck I only found one coin! But it's a oldie! thumbsup01 After getting the signal I started to push the dirt around with my pin pointer (it was less than 2 inches) I seen the edge of a coin so I ran went back to my truck to get the camera....

Congrats on your third Shield Nickel, Tim! That's a great find, I've never found one. That one looks like 1868 to me.

Good job! :clapping:

Ah, yes! That is a nice one Tim. :clapping: It's great when the nickels come out with some details. The dates on shield nickels are small, and tend to be hard to make out, but that one looks good. :yes:
