Omega gets a Buffalo

[jim tn]

My Omega was beginning to feel a little slighted as I have been using my F 75 LTD the mostly of late. Beautiful day here, 73 degrees, so after taking a break after my early morning hunt, decided to take the Omega for a stroll on one of our older parks. Didn't recover all that many targets, but did dig 7 nickels and one was a 1937 Buffalo. Also dug a lock and and what looks like a 28 gauge shell head. It possibly could be a 20 gauge, too. Can't quite make it all out, Besides the 7 nickels, got 4 quarters, 7 dimes and 9 Memorial cents. I had the 11" DD coil on and sen. of 99, disc 1, d4 tones and gb of 59-63. HH jim tn

Nice looking Buffalo. Always a good day when you can read the date. How deep was it?

It was pushing the 5" mark on my small digger. The 3rd tone of d4 tones alerted me to it, as well as the other nickels, and it went back and forth between the 2nd and 3rd tone. The reading was a little bouncy, 55-58, but a lot of 57's. At that depth, I'll dig anything close to 56/57. HH jim tn

Nice nickel! The only one I have found is so corroded you can't read the date!

Bart, it was a little bit bouncy, but a lot of 57's showing. HH jim tn

That could make it an even nicer Buffalo Nickel find.

PS: Congrats on the success with the 'budget' model.
