Still hunting - not finding much

I've still been going out at lunch time and not much else - been really hot here - haven't been finding a lot. My take was 5-q, 3-d, 1-n and 3 pennies for a whopping total of a buck 63.  With the start of school next week and my schedule change I can hit the parks again in the morning.  I hope that some of the tot lots have filled back up with some goodies.

Last few hunts yield one wheat penny

I'm trying to get out as much as I can and get use to my IDX pro.  I am getting better with the pinpointing and digging up less trash.  So I hope I keep that up.  My last few hunts have given me 3 bucks and 4 cents.  The take was 7-q, 8-d, 7-n and 14 pennies.  I also found a wheat penny  1944.

Shield Nickel

History

The shield type nickel was made possible by the Act of May 16, 1866. In 1866 the coin was designed with rays between the stars on the reverse.
Some of the pieces minted in 1867 have the same details, but later the rays were eliminated creating two varieties for that year.
There was no further change in the type until it was replaced by the Liberty head device in 1883. The most valuable (in an EF40) is the 1880 coin.
Shield nickels weigh 5 grams and are made out of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
I would love to find one of these - another on the wish list.
