That Tom, he's a character, God Bless him... Congrats on your 1st Buffalo, I can take you to where I dug my 1st one, it was about 55 miles from where I live, an old army ammo depot and testing facility.

congratz on your first buffalo. Pretty soon it'll be V-nickels. Then Shield nickels. Then silver dollars. And before you know it: You won't be satisfied with anything less than gold coins! haha

Congrats! All my finds over these years and I've never found a buff or shield, Spanish silvers but no dang buffs or shields hah

Well done my man. Glad that we got out last night, and good to see you score buffalo number one!

You were so cute, just sitting there looking at that coin.

Shaun, going forward you might want to put the coin and some of its dirt in a pill bottle until you get home and can try to get a date off of it. the more you wipe it in the filed and let it dry the less chance to get get a date on many older coins to include Large Coppers. You will learn that many shield, V, and buffalo nickels are hard to get dates from also Standing liberty quarters and some Large Coppers.

CoilToTheSoil - I'll happily trade by my (only) Buffalo and my (only) Sheild nickels, for your Spanish silvers....K? (REALLY will...!)

I think if you braided the date area with a toothpick, the date might appear. Just a thought. What have you got to lose?
