Vez Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 It is rare I would dig a nickle on a hunt let alone 3! Was a quick 3 hour hunt in a very small 1800s park I have hit for many years. Most of this stuff had to have been previously masked by screw tops and iron. More than a few of these had a nail come out of the plug first or after I retrieved the target. One wheat has iron oxide on the obverse from where it has been resting on a nail, cant get a date off of it. I had such a great time! I had to share, thank you for your time and looking! What a day! 1941 Jefferson 1909 V Nickle x2 1916, 1919, cant see date Wheat 1903, 1893, 1890 IHC Sterling Ring 2 piece great seal button 1951 Canadian Cent and other tiny non FE stuff!

GB_Amateur Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Nice finds! The condition of that Sterling ring makes me think your soil there in that park isn't very friendly to silver. One of the V-nickels looks to be in decent shape, as does one of the IH's. Hopefully these will all clean up to be presentable. Someone ought to write a book on that....

It actually looks pretty good, I just hadn't gave it a wipe down. I picked at a nickle today to see how the face up side looked and it didnt fare as well as the V which was that side that was down...
