Hello again everyone. I thought I would post some pictures of our finds from our last couple of visits to our shallow dump.

Love the coin

I'm not that familiar with US coins from the 1880's , think your 5 cent coin is dated 1882 ?
value listed is $18 in good condition but worth more if it grades higher , but book I looked thru isn't brand new so prices might not be current

 

[Timelypicken]

Were I love the 5 cent would go for about $25

I appreciate the input guys. Yes, the shield nickel is dated 1882

Looks like a successful day. the 5 gram token/weight (whatever) is pretty neat, any idea what it's made out of?

 

[Pclaglass]

Thank you, yes, I really like that item too. It is made of brass.

A lot of nice things! I love the coin, the ink, and the little round-bottomed one, especially! (What do you think the last one I mentioned might be?)
Oh, and the very last one looks really old! Do you suppose it was something like a practice bottle by the maker - it's just so lop-sided! =D
