That's a very nice collection of finds! The warmer weather has been a blessing. Sadly here in the Boston Area we are expecting a lot of snow on Tuesday.....bummer.

Nice finds. I'd love to find a buffalo nickel.

Need to change your handle to the silver slayer! You post more silver than anyone else!!

Some nice finds. Too bad the date is gone on the buffalo but that seems to be the case on most of them.

Congrats on a nice hunt and recoveries!

Your right - your lucky if you can read the date on half of the Buffalo Nickels that come out of the ground.

From what I've been told ...
It was common for the old timers in this hobby to "cherry pick" the high conductors like Silver coins and leave.
That's why a lot of the sites we hunt these days only give up Wheat Cents and Nickels.
Whenever I go to a site where there should be Silver coins, but there isn't any - I really start paying close attention to my Nickel signals. Doing this over the years has helped me find well over 100 - Shield, V, War and Buffalo Nickels.

I knew there was a reason I wasn’t finding silver at these old houses. One if I’m lucky.
Congrats on some nice finds.
1900th wheat!!!! That’s a lot of wheats. They do add up quickly though. Tough to find ones in good shape.
Neat to see one of those jacks again. I remember playing that game and marbles as a kid. Cheaper entertainment back then. 👍
