Couple more war nickels

[Bob in SoMd]

Found these two Sunday in the heat. This is the second time in 3 weeks that I've found two war nickels on the same hunt. And these two were in the same curbside area. I only lasted about an hour but it was worth it. The first was the 1945-P that rang up with a VDI in the 40's. The second was really jumpy with the VDI from 20 to the 70's. Think I know why - the nail was sitting on top of it. Pulled that out and the probe settled in on 40-45.

Also found a cheap broken ring and a single wheatie (1946).

I am sold on the ketchup treatment for these. Here's a picture after simple soap and water. Not great...

Then, after a couple of hours soak in the Heinz...

Excellent finds and also the small toy sign is cool since it's still in one piece. What is the blue & white stone item? Pendent? Part of the ring? Very cool finds and have I said how much I love to see those nickels coming out of the ground? HH, Nancy
