type1 or 2

[Thorne]

This is a 1913-D buff and I am unsure as to how to tell if type 1 or 2

Yours is a type 1 raised ground. The type 2 is a recessed ground. Just google it and you can see pictures.

Type 1.

Type 2 is what the reverse of the buffalo nickel looked like for the rest of the coins run of 1913-1938.

I still don't get it. Is it because of the space between five cents?

No, take a look at the mound the buffalo is standing on.
Type 1 is raised like on a hill and type 2 is flat ground
