This Week's Finds

Hi all,

I had the opportunity to check some old neighborhood yards this week..I went back out today right after the remnants of hurricane Gustov roared through our area, dumping several inches of rain.

I ended up with 3 silver Rosies (all from the 50's), 2 Mercs (a '41-S and a '42-P), 11 wheats (oldest is a 1917), a token, 2 dateless Buffalos and what looks like some kind of large bullet (2 1/4 inches long)!

The Buffalo nickels were found in the same hole with 2 1940 Jeffersons, so they were apparently a later drop (which also accounts for how worn they are). They were so brown and pitted when I found them that I couldn't photograph them well..I used the vinegar/salt water method to bring out the silvery look to show some detail.

It looks like the 1917 penny was punctured with a square nail, but I have no idea why

Nice silver haul Natman. Your silver total must be getting up there for the year.

Nice finds Natman! The Buffalo on the right has to be a 1913 as he is standing on a "mound" instead of a "plain" like the later ones.

Thanks Dale, I didn't even think of looking..the other one has the same mound! How unusual to find 2 worn Buffalo nickels with the same date (1913) in the same hole with 2 Jeffersons, which also had the same date (1940).

Thanks all,
Nat

Re: This Week's Finds

Very nice silver, interesting Buff. Yours is the first I've seen posted here standing on a mound,
I've read about that somewhere long before I started detecting. Haven't got a Buff. yet myself.
Very cool.

Good luck,
HH.
