I went out on Saturday and low and behold my first buffalo showed up. I don't dig the mid tones, like I should, so it has taken me almost a year to get my first buffalo. He isn't very pretty, but he is all mine!

I also got a pocket watch, 2 bullets, 5 Wheaties, 2 Canadians, broken silver ring, 1940 rabies tag, a TootsieToy and a Midgetoy.

No silver coins.:sadsmiley:

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Love the buffs, altho Im still waiting to find my 1st. Funny, my son pulled one out of a city park where I'd spent 100's of hours swinging. His 1st trip there. Grrrrrr

Well can I start calling you Buffalo Tom now that you have broken that barrier? Naw The Silver King is a much better title for you. I don't know how you are gonna have time to do all the finding now that you bought those 2 hives from that guy. So I think that you will continue to MD and we'll see some dead bees. Congrats on your weekend finds.

The toy car in the back is a TootsieToy... badly corroded, so I hid it behind the Midgetoy. Both are USA made (Illinois actually) , and fond memories of my youth!

I know, I know... I am trying to do better, I dig the mid tones in some older spots, but the newer places are just infested with can slaw and pull tabs. I get frustrated after about a dozen in a row, and just give up. That is also why I have only one gold ring!

Great finds, CT! On Saturday I was searching an area near the curb and found two Canadian cents in the same hole. How about yours?
