1916 Buffalo, Perfect Attendance Pin, Funky Brass Bear, Relics...

[Kurios1]

Howdy Folks. I scored an old 1916 Buffalo nickel today on some well pounded sod. I ran my Impact in 20 kHz VLX2 mode with my little sniper coil. I got a cute little Perfect Attendance pin. Found this white glass thingy with a brass rim? Perhaps a light was behind it in some type application? I found what I believe is an old lead seal. Almost looks like some letters can be made out. Pulled half of a brass compact from the dirt. I snagged a very thin brass bear with his face shoved in. Kinda' cute still. I found what I thought was a horse tack rivet but, it looks different than my other ones so not sure if it was for another application. I found plenty of trash lead, aluminum and iron scraps too. It was one of my neighbor's properties which was an old limestone wreck that he buried in the ground a few years ago. One of the older sights in town which has produced some nice old 1800's coins. Like most sights I hunt in my hometown nearly only iffy signals remain. That's cool though. I know there are more nice coins hiding in this trash. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

A dated buffalo is always nice to find. I really like the attendance pin.

I wonder where the bear came from. I really like that piece.

Good luck K1!

Hi, nice hunt with some nice relics.

 

[dirtlooter]

most of my buffs are a lot worse and that bear is cool, any chance of pushing his face back out? iffy signals can be the best ones, of course they can be lousy ones too but only one way to find out and you seem pretty good at that part my friend.

Excellent finds, I have never seen a perfect attendance pin.....maybe I should have gone to school more often LOL

Thanks Tom. I do like the fragile little bear. It appears to have been gold plated back in the day whenever that is? It has some "tabs" on the outer edges as if to fasten it to another piece. Clueless what it was for. I just wish he didn't get punched in the face.

I actually got perfect attendance my freshman year of high school. It was a steep decline directly after that...
