Another Sweet Shield and more finds...

[Bucknut]

Got out a few times during my lunch breaks the past week or so and found a few items here and there. I had a great hunt this past weekend where I found a really nice Shield Nik again. This one is an 1876. I came across a shallow 22 signal that I wanted out of the way hoping that it was masking something. I do that often at this particular park that dates back to the 1850's. When I reswept the hole I got an 11-12 and 8 inches deeper was the Shield.

Also included in the hunt was a 1943 dog tag and a Shell Token. I ended the day with the 3 Merry Widows...I took that as a sign and headed home.

That's the nicest DUG shield I've seen. Nice job on the recovery. I've been doing that more myself and it does pay off at times. thx for posting. WD

I am loving that Shield Nickel! Not only is it in great shape but we rarely see ones from the 1870s posted. Wonderful find, Jared! :clapping:
