Found this buffalo today way far away from the house i was metal detecting. Was having bad luck all day until i walked into the treeline half a mile out. On the ground was the remains of a broken blue bottle broken purple bottle and two baked bean cans and one perfect nickle signal. I figured trash for sure but got this. Crazy was nothing else there?? Maybe one night camp out in 1913. Looked online about it but my eyes seem to be pointing me in both directions about type 1 or 2. What do you all think?Thanks in advance and wish the pictures did it more justice looks like it was dropped that year HH. 1595210737053-1179666181.jpg 1595210823727-528053996.jpg 1595210905924-1017294925.jpg

I don't see a distinct line under the ground of the buffalo, so I'd lean toward Type 1.
Nice Save

Congrats on a nice coin. I rarely find Buffalo nickels, and never in that nice of condition.
