Woohoo!

Today I went to a spot that's produced really well, have gotten a silver ring, a gold ring, 11 wheaties, and my first and only Mercury dime. This time I scored a 1928 Buffalo Nickel!!! :hello2:

The date is nearly worn off but otherwise in okay condition. Also found a 192? wheatie with the last number worn away. Plus a watchface, hot wheels motorcycle, 3 early 1900s shotgun shells, 3 spoons, 3 keys, and an old bottle of eyeliner.

And I've only done about 1/4 of the place so far! :icon_sunny:

Thanks! Yeah, for sure there's more good stuff.

I just found out from internet searching that one of my keys is for the Ford Model T, made between 1908 and 1927!
