Buffalo from Saturday

[Rich in Texas]

Here is my Buff from Saturday. This thing was so crudded up that I soaked it in ketchup to eat some of the buildup off.

Awsome pic. I am partial to the Indian head, being full blooded Mohawk I would love to dig up a coin like that. I have one that someone made an earring out of by cutting out just the head on the coin and welding a pin on it. HH.

Did it taste good? Seriously that has a real nice high relief date on it, most remind me of my jr. high years, dateless.

Keep up the good work!!

Looks like a Buff In The Ruff! It's sure better than any I have found with my total being an even ZERO!

It was at about 4 inches and hit a perfect 20 VDI on my MXT. The little area that I found it in has also produced the 1910 wheatie posted here, and my hunting buddy Don's 1901 V-Nickel. We think the area has been cherry picked in the past. No silver yet, but we are starting to dig deep iffy signals and just maybe we will hit some silver. We are of course digging anything that could be a nickel because most cherry pickers disc them out. It has paid off with a couple of nice old nickels so far.

Great find!

That one looks like it was minted, and lost in the same day!

Really nice one! Very interested in seeing what else you find in that "little area"

Where you at in TX? Fort Worth area here!!!! HH

Hey Wayne, I'm in San Antonio. The ketchup does work but you have to check it often to keep from taking too much off. I didn't realize that nickel was showing through the corrosion until the flash on the camera lit it up. Just looking at it with the eyes it looks like it is still completely covered with corrosion.

Very nice and with great detail Congratulations

Rich; Nice find! Looks like they tossed the top one off a new roll of nickels What year was the 3 legged one? Anybody? HH

 

[Rich in Texas]

I believe the 3 legger was in 1935.

Nice find. Be happy that it's year is still intacted. Most buffalo nickels I have dug have the year worn off. I'd guess it's about a 1 to 5 ratio with getting a year on a buffalo. Alot of times when I am not getting any good copper/silver signals I will start digging nickels. It's amazing the nickels that are still out there. Depends on the site what 'strategy' I use... HH!

Nice Find. Ketchup with Buffalo......Only in TX!

 

[rvbvetter]

Yeah, but it was mesquite ketchup

 

[Floater]

B E A U Tiffull. Nice find and great idea on the ketchup. Just enough acid but still mild. I guess we will have to post that to the Prarie Home Companion.LOL

Thanks for all the comments! This was an awesome find for me with the detail left on it. It really was dropped very early in it's circulation. The ketchup does really work. I could hardly tell what kind of nickel this thing was before the ketchup treatment.
