Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good

Was out and about found an old barn found a lot of junk then bingo! I came across an old glass milk bottle it was pretty dirty when I dug it out I could not believe my eyes. It was filled with buffalo nickels dates were 1934, 1936, 1937 and 1930. Took them home and ran then through my ultrasonic cleaner with just distilled water. They all came out with viewable dates and the bottle cleaned up nicely too.

Congratulations on the big herd.
That was a good sum of money in the depression.

That's a really neat stash you discovered...those nicks look like they just came out of a roll from the bank.
Once I had some coins in my hand that a guy found ina glass jar also..you would never know they were dug ...great way to find them!

 

[Almy]

Wow! I've never seen so many, and to find them all at once!!

The kicker is I just have a cheap 10-year-old bounty hunter. I found lots of goodies and was going to upgrade but said why.
