Nice finds.....the buffalo is in pretty good shape.
I found a knife almost exactly like the one you found in the same condition.
I found mine in the woods. Not sure on the age, though.
Congrats!!

I find nickles the hardest to find because of the VDI number is close to pull tabs on spectra. Great job!
 

Great find with the buffalo ! Got a great mickle signal on Monday night but it was a pull tab . Did get a buffalo on the beach using my sand shark on Sunday .
 

Those Buffalo nickels are like unicorns!
 

I have ta dig alot of pull tabs to find my nickles but I do find them............HH
 

Your pen Knife/jack knife looks as if may be of the 1950's variety. However, they are still made. The makers name may be on the blade right next to the handle. Knife needs to be open to locate it. Like any other collectible I.D. is the name of the game. Neat finds. HHHH
 

Congrats on the nik!
 

Nice buffalo! If you can read the date that is awesome.
Not many left, cuz the babyboomers tore them out of the ground.
Congrats!
