I got 2 of those but you need a magnifying glass to see them. Yours is in great shape by comparison. All pine trees at my spot, I guess some soil is much more nickle friendly. Good work.

Out of couriosity, what do the numbers come on the nickels in at in a bench test.

I have yet to find a sheild myself, an exciting find indeed.

Thanks for showing.

@Mtnmn I thought the same thing, i couldnt belive it ! I saw the shield first and new right away what it was,i didnt rub on it i just slipped it in my pocket with a smile on my face. @Hardtack1862 I had the sheid come in solid 15 no jumping around and the worn buffalo at 14 now im digging everything in 14 and 15 with other detectors alot of people just pass over the tone and go for just high tones,i wont do that no more,lol
