I finally found my first buffalo nickel. Unfortunately the date is long gone. :BangHead: Bummer. But I did manage to have a pretty good day of detecting. Lots of clad, a nice pendant, an Arabic coin, a small piece of jewelry and the following wheats: 1910, 48D, 49D, 53D, 56D, 57D & 58D.

Thank y'all for the congrats. This was the third outing with my new XP Deus and I must say I am impressed with this detector. It is really light, does a great job of finding those targets and the recovery speed is out of this world. I'll be trying it out in Germany in the next couple weeks. Keep y'all posted.

Good grief. Have to say....the Buff is NOT the best of your finds lately. Nice haul from Germany. Sweet.

I have to agree with you lockster99. Nothing compares to detecting in Europe, or in my case Germany. They have so much history going back thousands of years. The finds here in the states are so much newer. It's hard to get excited about my US finds but every now & then I dig up something excellent. Either way, I just like getting out and detecting.

Congrats! Too bad the date is gone... I don't think I have ever seen one with a date.
That pendant is pretty sweet! :occasion14:

You're not going to believe it but I just found one today.........with the date! It's a 1937 buffalo and about 30 feet away was a 1918 wheatie laying right on top of the ground.
