Swinging today: 3 silver

[Diggin Dude]

Went out metal detecting today, lots of clad and found 3 silver coins today: 1948 Roosevelt dime and 2 1964 quarters. Also found my first Buffalo nickel 1936, sorry I was excited to find one. I'm such a "green horn".

Here's a few photos.

It took me 15 years to dig my first Buffalo Nickel, [ 2 weeks ago]

I found a buffalo nickel about seven years ago and my wife accidently threw it away on me. Since then I have found a 1784 Spanish coin, old half dollars, several silver coins, Indian heads, a V Nickel and today my first Shield Nickel. However I have yet to find another buffalo nickel. I thought maybe my wife cursed me when she threw my first one out! At this point a buffalo would make me happier then a piece of silver. Great finds!

Very nice.

They are hard to come by for some reason. I have only dug 2 Buffalos' in the last 8 months. I will dig hundreds of pull tabs to every nickel it seems, which are mostly Jeffersons'.

I like the buffs but unfortunately the dates are almost always gone.

Wow didn't realize how hard it is to find a Buffalo nickel detecting, I'm always concentrating on finding silver coins I don't find a lot of nickels, when I do find them its always a Jefferson, and lots of pull tab junk. I recall this one toning at 79/80 with the AT PRO but clearer than a bottle cap but not quite.like a penny. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone.

Thats some story EC and Davers I should feel fortunate for finding a Buffalo in my third year detecting.

Thanks for comments everyone!
