I didn't find any silver on this trip but I definitely found some neat keepers
This coin here is definitely a first for me, it's one of Hitlers coins, it's made of zinc and I was surprised that it held up as well as it did but as you can tell by the v nickel the soil is very forgiving in this woods
35286
This is one of the best looking v nickels that I've dug in a while, I was hoping for a mintmark but no dice.
35287
I found a complete toy gun but it's very corroded, quartz watch, old WW1 rifle shell and my favorite in this photo is the full brass shot gun shell. I think I've only found 4 of the full brass shot gun shells like this
35288
I always like checking out the headstamp on the old brass
35289
I did pretty good in the old coin department, nothing super old but the coins that I do pull out of this woods are almost always pretty much corrosion free except for the zinc coins. I found a round ball and some other shells also
35290
I wish that the 1885 that I found a few years back was in this good of shape but them are the breaks when it comes to the older nickels from the dirt.
35291
35292
This old coin sure did catch me off guard cause I've never dug a German coin with a swastika on it. I had the composition of the coin figured out before I even looked it up, its zinc.
