Up on Buffalo Hill

hybrid_XLT · Oct 27, 2009

Spent 4 1/2 hours at the place i got the Standing liberty quarter the other day. first couple of hours got nothing back clad, pulltabs and bottle caps...moved on to the side of this 10-15 foot embankment that is all over grown with thorn bush's etc and it was pretty hard to swing the coil in there, but i got a good penny hit and pulled two wheats and a Buffalo out of the same hole,working my way left at 6 feet over got a 19 VDI and another buffalo...after finding nothing else to the left, i worked to the right of the first buffalo and at 10 feet from there i got another wheat and a third Buffalo. never got three buffalo's in a single hunt. worked my way down to the foot of the embankment and got a deep 87 VDI.... at 7" i got the 1943D Washington Quarter, (Yeah i rubbed it by accident!!)... rescanned the hole i got a 82 VDI and out came the 1938 Mercury... un-rubbed !!! thorns were really thick there so i worked my way back up and i got the top part of the Mr Boston whiskey bottle, (Kept the cap, looked cool)...midway up i got the very cool looking Eagle, looks to be it goes on top of a flag pole. on my way back to my car, i got a clad dime, and not a half a foot away i got the 1920 Mercury..what a day...my fore arm is killing me from swinging that heavy Eagle Spectrum around.. i let Wild Willie & Substation Fred hold it to compare it to their DFX's and they couldn't get over the weigh of it...,sorry about the long novel...but posting what i find and writting about it is part of Metal detecting. wouldn't you agree??

I agree with you about not rubbing your silver coin finds in the field ~ but honestly it's not a big deal on these common date silver coins. They are gonna have problems just being in the ground ~ they won't be collector quality ~ a little rub won't hurt much. BUT, if it's a rare date or high grade coin DON'T RUB 'EM!!!

NICE FINDS MAN!

Nice finds,

The eagle is a good unit. My buddy swings one. I got a dfx but once you put the 1400 coil on it it's just as heavy.

Yup your right about it being a tougher area to hunt. i've been to this place many times and have brought Detecting friends there and that hill w/ thorns has never been MDed. most of the wheat's are from the low 1940's and one of the Buffalo's is a 1930. can get any date's off the other two buff's or the one i found there the other day. unless i use some Lime-away. think i'll just keep them the way they look..
