I finally found a buffalo I could read the date on....and more

[DANGLANGLEY]

The day started out sucking real bad. I started my truck to leave for work and about 3 seconds later the engine died. The best I can figure is it has jumped time, and we all know that ain't good. Well, I called in to work and told them I wouldn't be there and then drove my wife to work. It was a little later when I found out what was wrong with my truck. So I hit the old 1879 church yard and came away with 2 wheats and a 1928 buffalo, barely could read the date. A bunch of newer change and a bucket of trash. After I went to the car dealer and picked out a newer used truck I went on home. It was sundown so I got my detector out for a few minutes and decided to dig a few of those dollar signals I had been avoiding because they were too deep. I found that Jr. O.U.A.M. merit award. It was pretty deep and almost dark when I flipped it out on top of the ground. For a second I thought I had a real nice coin, but it's a good one though. Have a good one y'all

Don't think I have ever found a buffalo nickel I could read. I have a couple V nickels that have dates, but the buffalo dates sure don't hold up very well.

That jubilee key fob is the bomb!

Nice work. Sorry to hear about the truck.

Love that old fob. Nice to get a date on the buffalo to.

Very cool finds. I have never come across a buffalo I could read.

I could read the dates on every single buffalo I've found...






Yup... both of them. :P

I'm the complete opposite, I have found 2 readable buffalo nickels and two very unreadable V nickels.
