    Buff monkey off my back - April 11

    Howdy all:

    Today I hunted again at a site with a new MDer friend who helped me get access there. She got a new Ace 250 last week and she's off to a great start. We had a lot of fun hunting. My first coin of the day was a '48 Jefferson nickel, followed by a 1917D Wheatie. Next I was pleased as punch to dig a '30 Buffalo nickel, a first, for this coin has somehow eluded me. A tenderfoot Boyscout pin was then unearthed. Wow, can life get better? Yes! Another Buffalo nickel ('25?) was my next coin. That was easy!! And the icing on the cake was a beat up '41 Merc, but hey, it's mine.

    The weather was gorgeous and I couldn't ask for a better day of friendship and good digs. Your day will come, Colleen!

    HH,

    Yep, you finally figgered out where the " Buffalo used to roam " I hate to say it, but I used to see them everyday, but that was years ago . I have been hunting for them since the '60s ........NGE
