I dug my first Buffalo Nickel today! Even though it's not terribly old-1924, it's extremely cool. I think my heart actually skipped a beat! Found some other interesting items, but not sure what they are yet. . . As soon as I can get pictures I will post, and get y'all to help me identify! Nice little afternoon find! Really cheered me up!
Amy ;D
WTG & I hope yah find many more!

Great find Amy!! I love finding Buffalo's.. Thats a good sign for you also that you dug one, it means your digging those low tones and Gold will certainly follow if you keep digging them.. Congrats again,

Scott

Will hopefully just keep getting better for you :icon_thumright:
I found my 1st Buffalo in 1975 at age 12 - my son actually lives right across from
the old school that I found it at - mine the date was worn smooth
but remember I was excited all the same

That's a nice find ! Took me seven years to find my first (and only buffalo nickel - a 1929) I was so stoked I was calling people in other states
to tell them about my find !
