I was hunting my local park last week and found my first shield nickel, 1869. Not in the best shape but I was excited. Only about 3" deep.

Congrats on your first shield nickelthe last two that I've found didn't have a date, I've got one with a date, it's hard to find one that is still readable.
Excellent find. I'm still looking for my first one.
Congrats

Even though they are usually roached out. It is still very cool to find an example of the original nickel. Congrats!

I found my one and only last season, how's the other side?

The other side isn't real good. I mean you can clearly see the 5 and the stars around it. The big thing is I was able to read the date
Thanks Tony, I was excited to find it!
Congrats on that shield nickel. That one is on my list of coins I would like to find. Nice that you got one with a readable date.
Congrats on the shield nickel, another coin that is still eluding me!
