2 firsts on 6-5-06

About 20 minutes into my hunt I find my first buffalo nickel WOOHOO! It doesn't have a date on it but I'll take it nonetheless. Then about 5 feet away I find my first indian head penny. The date was 1883. YEEHAW! Those were the only 2 coins I found today. I did find 2 cargo pockets full of rusty nails and aluminum cans and assorted trash. After finding 2 firsts today I don't think I would've cared if I dug 4 cargo pockets full of junk.

Hey, Willie... Hope I'm not too late to celebrate with you! Congrats on the great finds!

Never too late, because I'm still celebrating. I've been in a good mood all week.

Correction: the IH was a 1893 not an 1883 as I claimed before. I cleaned it up a little and discovered the 8 was actually a 9.
