Hey TTH,
I've never heard the phrase 'buffalo pennies' do you mean Indian Head? Your nickel is just that but it has been coated with something that makes it look like it is copper. You had a good hunt along with a three ringer slug that looks like a dropped one. How far down were these items? Keep swinging...............63bkpkr
 

Dug nickels have that corrosion in the pic. They don't do well in most soil. I've never dug one with a silver color that wasn't recently dropped and on top of the ground, in a tot lot mulch, or a war nickel that has silver content. Nice v nickel!

Here is a link about the liberty/v nickel talking about it being 75% copper. Not real sure as new to the coin aspect. Yes meant Indian head not buffalo. Found a bunch of three rings in the field I'm in , most are anywhere between two and 4 inches .

Ok I just found this wired dime it is smaller that a real dime. Solid copper side and a bit thicker. It's a 2000 d dime any ideas????

That's called a "dryer coin", it is a coin that rolls around in a clothes dryer until it wears like that.
 

What does the back of the dime look like?...........63bkpkr
 

That or somebody started tapping that dime with a spoon around the edges. You can make rings out of them. Great finds! HH
 

Cool finds!!!
