Got a few Buffs

[Mike Bearden]

Hit a spot at lunch time yesterday with the 10 X 14 E coil and started hammering out some pretty deep Buffs and a few other goodies.
A 1917 Walking Liberty half, a 1917 Philippine's War Token ( probably lost from the same pocket ) and a percushion cap.
All of this stuff was in the 6 - 10" depth range. The percushion cap was 7" deep and is fully intact, looks like it was lost yesterday, hardly ever find them that deep.
Will be hitting this site HARD again
Sorry about the blurred pic, bad lighting I guess.

Good Hunting
Mike

What kind of soil did the buffs come out of? Look to be in really good shape

Greetings Mike,
Nice finds! I have found only one walking lib so far. As for the Buffs,
Great finds. I have found some blackened before, and a few clean like yours. It is a nice addition to your trappings! Happy Hunting Grounds,

Nice Buffs, I've never pulled a clean one yet, mine always been like dog dirt.

a dried out section that was once a boat landing. The soil is more river basin clay than dirt and slippery as all get out when wet

Ahhh.. the clay. I've dug out some strangely clean coins from clay.. kinda forgot about that. Again.. awesome finds!!

Very nice shape, here in AZ the nickles come out of the ground looking very brown to red. Nasty mineralized soil here really tears them up.
