Desperately trying to find 1 more silver before the freeze comes and hit the Park I found the half dime at a couple of weeks back. It was a pretty uneventful hunt till I hit a very weak nickel signal. The signal was only about 15 feet from the half dime find. When I found the coin it was completely green like an old wheatie. Got it home and started to get it cleaned up and it turned out to be a Shield nickel (1st one) The reverse is decent but the obverse is pretty trashed. The best I can guess is 1868 but that is a big maybe. None the less it definitely is a Shield. Most of the wheats and the Rosie were found on previous hunts. Thanksgiving brings a couple of days of 40 temps so hopefully there is one more silver to be found. Wisconsin Digger
