I was researching an old park where I have found some wheats before but tried a new part of the park after talking to a friend at work. Boy am I glad I did. After hunting another park and finding some clad I made the drive to the park. My first signal was a quarter about 6" deep. When I saw it was silver I was excited thinking it was a silver washington quarter. After I got it out of the hole I then saw that it was a Standing Liberty Quarter. Even better. Then a couple steps from there I got another signal. It looked like a dog tag or medallian. Then a couple more steps I got another signal. I was really pumped now because it looked like a half dime. All three were in about a ten foot circle next to a very large tree. I walked around and found a few pennies and a couple quarters (clad although one was 1967) and then made the trip home. I only hunted for about two hours as the heat index was over 100 and I was sweating like crazy even in the shade. After cleaning the coins the standing liberty quarter is wore so smooth there is no date, the dog tag or medallian just has a number on it and what I thought was a half dime was actually a Buffalo Bill coin. The front says National Heroes Buffalo Bill 1846-1917 and the back reads Mazuma Play Money with 10 in the middle. I found three wheats that I thought were clad. They were 1914, 1919 and 1941. They cleaned up better than the clad pennies which is alright by me. I had today off as I have to work this weekend but my next free day off I am going back.

! Congrats on the SLQ and wheats. I think the Buffalo Bill coin is a really neat relic.
