Another Buffalo with the CZ-3D

[RD3D]

Found my fourth buffalo nickel. This one is worn with no date but I'll take it over clad any day! Registered as a high tone on my 3D...just as it should!

the operator has a lot to do with it to. But a good machine does help & you can'y beat a Fisher for being a good machine.

Buffalo's are always rewarding finds! Good luck finding more treasures!

I cleaned mine with White Vinegar and Salt. I use about 2" of vinegar in a plastic botlte and a tea spoon of salt, mix it up, drop in the nickel, take it out and look at it, I don't leave it in any longer than needed. Try this with clad, until you get the hang of it. I buff it with a little wire brush, the size of a tooth brush. HH..BJ

and it came out of the ground a bright rust-red color. Must be the soil in that spot, as all the older clad and nickels come out that color. I ended up just soaking it in hot hydrogen peroxide, brushing with a nylon-bristled brush, then rubbing some molten parafin onto the coin to make the relief shine a bit, otherwise it would have had a matte finish, and been hard to capture an image of.

I've tried the vinegar/salt trick, and wasn't pleased with the results. BJ, your Buff's look awesome! I only found one Buff while I lived in OK, just outside of downtown Tulsa.
