I went to a local park today and found my first Buffalo Nickel in a grove of huge pine trees.
There were massive roots everywhere just under the soil and on the top, it was tough digging.
The nickel is a 1937 I also found a 1938 wheat cent and a very thin penny just a few inches away.
I cant tell if the thin penny is a Indian Head or a wheat, I can just make out the letters N & T on one side.

great find, I have not found a Buffulo in 6 years doing this!
 
I would get them all the time at work from customers.
I figured I would find lots of them when I started detecting
a year ago but this my first.
 
Love that buffalo coin. I would assume that the other penny is a clad, considering the condition the Wheatie is in. I am in NJ and it doesn't take long for a clad to become almost worthless.
