Another Barber and 1st Buffalo FTY

TundraPlugger · Apr 25, 2019

Got done with work early again today but instead of heading to "Token Park" again I wanted to go check out some ground I've detected before but not with the 3030.

Right off the bat in the front yard of this old house I got a good wheatie signal. I dug done and put the pin pointer in the hole to find my first buffalo nickel of the year....1937-D. The higher tone was coming from the 2 wheats in the same hole.

Dug a few more wheats in that same tiny front yard that I had missed with other machines and then found that Cadillac looking hood ornament type thing.....not really sure what it is.

Told myself that I only could have one more good signal before I had to go. Went over some more ground that I'd been over with the Etrac probably a dozen times and dug a 1905-O Barber dime!

I'm not too sure what a New Orleans minted coin is doing up this way.

Another Barber? Your doing good lately! I now remember how nice your old pennies come out of the dirt over there. Looks like the soil is kind to buffalo nickels too! :wow:

Thanks Foragist! The ground is very kind to stuff around here.....only draw back is we don't get much older than Barbers and Indians......but I'll take 'em!

In the last few weeks I've dug my first buffalo for the year, a Barber dime AND a Cadillac emblem! What a strange coincidence. Nice hunting!

Thanks Jack! I've really got to hit it hard while I can since I normally don't get to start detecting until early April. I've been very lucky with the old finds so far though, that's for sure.

Thanks Digger! The ground up here is very nice to the stuff in the ground. That buffalo is probably the nicest I've ever dug though.

Congratulations on the nice digs. Have to agree with others, that buffalo looks mighty good after spending 80 years burried. Detail appears like a first year circulation drop.

Congrats on the Barber and Buff! I found a 1937 D a few weeks ago. Mine was not in quite as good shape as yours, but in decent shape. To bad not the three legged variety.

Nice variety of finds!

That is a sharp buffalo!

Congrats on the nice assortment of finds! You did a good job in cleaning them out too.

Thanks Ecmo! I know the 1919-S wheat was in the hole with it but I didn't check the other one which was either the 1938-D or 1940......either way that buffalo didn't see much circulation that's for sure!

Thanks Verm! Not very often I get that much variation in types of finds.

Thanks JAK! Almost everything I dig cleans up pretty good.....except aluminum tokens.....they're usually corroded.

Your IHP's always look incredible. The one in my avatar is my best and I have dug a few others that are decent. Some have been really toasted. I have a V that came out of very sandy soil that is in outstanding shape. It has a grey/green patina instead of the normal brick red color that the majority of the ones I dig have.
