Hello everyone.Today was a good day for me. I found something that I wasn't expecting to find.... a buffalo nickle. It ceases to amaze me that I keep finding things at this place everyday. I thought I had about hunted it out but as I walk the grounds things keep popping up that I have missed before. This was in the same hole as the Indian penny. I pulled out the nickle then covered the hole. For some reason (shame on me) for not always checking I re-cehecked the hole and got another solid hit. Pulled out an Indian penny. I thought maybe there's more..... but not. I re-checked several times at different angles. Nothing I was still happy. This is 3 this week and 8 total so far from here.Found another odd, old key, an old fork, part of an old spoon (brass) or copper, a shard of pottery (this stuff is everywhere) and some modern clad from the 70's and 80's. Thanks for looking Ron

Those are some old relics. Older than the coins are. I'd be pounding that spot, gotta be some older coins there! Hogge

Been pounding all summer. Oldest so far has been 1842 LC
 
Nice Buffalo! I've found a few this year but none as old as yours, the oldest is a 1923. And it is super corroded, lol.

Nice hunt! Joe
