Well got a first today plus my oldest non-U.S. coin.Hit the lot where I got the token thing last week.
Hit this small area where they hadn't put any fill dirt in.
First signal I got was a real thick coin,just bigger then a nickel.Not sure of the amount,but here is what it say's on it:
Republica De Chile 1835
Medio Centavo Economia Ri?ueza

Then I finally got my first shield nickelNot sure of the date,but it is between 1867-1883 as it has no ray's.
Well hope everybody has a great turkey day.Here are the pic's

Neat find!

It's cool to find Shield nickels, too, regardless of how they look. I've only dug one so far- an 1873.
