I was fortunate to find some free time this afternoon, and even more fortunate to find these! They've been buried in gravel for a long time, so they're a little rough, but I'll add them to the collection.

1864 Indian Head Penny
1872 & 1883 Shield Nickels
1863 Plank Road Brewery - Milwaukee Token

Wow, great finds! Must have found another great old road construction spot. Congrats! Think those things may clean up well

Wow, two Shield Nickels in one hunt, that is a RARE occurrence! And you can even read the date on both of them! :thumbsup02:

I really like the token too, what a cool piece of history.

The key in the top photo kind of looks like a railroad key. Did you try cleaning it up?

Congrats on the great finds! :clapping:

Great finds. My Dad found 2 or 3 shields but I have never seen one in any of my holes. Two in one hunt is amazing. Awesome. WD

You know me, I'm a token lover. So the old brewery token is by far my favorite find :smitten:

Nice shield nickels and token. Too bad that '64 is in the shape it is. It's a nice find regardless.

Very nice Darren, two shield nickels in one hunt is a rare occurrence and a civil war token is a great find for WI, WTG.
