So Friday night I was getting ready for my Saturday hunt. Dumping my finds pouch into this giant plastic tub I have in the basement. When I hunt, any good finds (jewelry, silver coins, tokens, oddities, etc) go in my pants pocket and the clad and trash go in my pouch. I dump the pouch after every hunt or two or when it is heavy. Well, the plastic tub has probably over a thousand coins in it, and a bunch of foil, tabs, nails, etc.
As I was sitting there picking out the larger pieces of trash and dirt, etc my cat, Buddy, was watching me, and would keep taking things out of the tub to play with, chew on, etc. I kept swatting him away but he was fascinated by it all. When I was done, I noticed he had pulled a coin out of the tub and left it on the floor. It was a nickel, but looked a little weird to me, green and extra crusty. I took it upstairs to clean it off. Lo and behold, it's a Buffalo. My first and only. Thing is, I have no idea where I found it. I would assume at an old farm house I have been working a bit here and there. I guess when I dug it, I just thought it was a regular nickel and tossed it in with the clad.
So if you hate sorting through mountains of filthy clad looking for keepers, contact me for hourly rates about renting Buddy. Of course first class airfare to and from your location and gourmet meals for him will be on you
