Great week! Two 1st for me!

[DiggerBug]

Nana, Terri and I had a great week hunting. I found my first two old coins and what
to ya know?...I can't read a date on either one of them. I don't care, I love them!

I found the Indian Head Cent at a friends neighbors. His grandparents house was
here but burned.





I found the Buffalo Nickle today...along with a ton of other junque!








Thanks for looking and HH!

Those Buffalo nickle just don't age very well in the dirt. A few more years and they'll all be just a crusty disc with very little details

Buffalo Nickels are always a great find! WTG!

Congrats! You've got to love the coins, and the relics are nice too! The site pics are a bonus. It looks like a sweet spot! Is that rubble from the house that burned down?

Cheers and HH,

Congrats on the two firsts. I also found my first IH and buff on the same hunt. The buff was dateless but the IH was 1898. Looks like a good hunting spot. Keep at it!

Congrats on a couple firsts!

Congradulations on those 2 finds. I wonder what you could put on those to help bring the dates out? I've often wonder that but never searced for the answer but I'm sure someone on tnet knows.
Congrats again,
Ed

Very good finds there. You sure found some good stuff. You might be able to find the old out house pit. Hunt between it and where the back door to the house would have been.

Nic-a-date works pretty good for those no-date buffaloes...Be sure not to put that stuff on the nickel in a stainless steel sink like I did...(IT WILL LEAVE STAINS)...It will get you spanking, lol....But if you like spankings go for it, lol...

As for the IH you can put it in virgin olive oil and let it soak for a few months but if you do it will be hard to put the coin in a plastic sleeve to display because the oil will continue to seep out the oil that has soaked into the metal. Here's a link to eBay where you can buy that nic-a-date. This seller has a very good feedback rating. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing your finds and great pics.

Thanks everyone! We really do have some great places to hunt. They keep us so
busy I don't get anything done at home!


Bmanley - The pasture is where the house burned. The rubble site is where I found
the Buffalo.

Danglang - I remembered reading about this stuff but couldn't remember the name
of it. Thanks!


Thanks to all the rest of you for your congrats and HH!
