Small Find A BIG FIRST!

We went back to the field where I had gotten the Indian and the Shield Nickel the day before and was rewarded for years of patience and digging those darn 12-06 to 12-09 signals out in the fields. What are those signals typically, foil, small bits of copper or brass and these so many of these I must have dug hundreds and hundreds of these over the years.



All of us have done that but it does get tempting to pass them by but we don’t or at least we shouldn’t because that signal can be also a nice cuff button or a small gold ring or pin or it can be this:





Yes my first Three Cent Piece and also it is the Nickel version which is a difficult coin to find! After two hours and multiple tooth picks this is how it looks.





Yes it is a small coin but for me a BIG FIRST!

Way to go!! I figure those are as scarce as hen's teeth! (Especially since they do read down there where most of the trash seems to be)

very sweet find you suck
 
I'm starting to think that it is some kind of plot or huge game of Keep Away. Everyone's got a 3 cent but me. Nice find Tony you deserve it.
 
Very nice find.
 
Nice find Tony!
Poor Todd...
 
Super find . . . patience pays off for sure!

Todd, The reason you don't have any yet is they were used 100 years too late . . . way past the Colonial period . . . . see if he'll trade you a pair of King George coppers for the 3-cent piece :cheers:
