    Silvers, Indians and a sweet Buff

    Here are my finds over the last few weeks. The silvers came during my lunch breaks at a nearby park. I have hammered this place so much over the last 4 plus years that I am now wondering around in the woods and surprisingly have run across a couple silvers.

    Yesterday evening I went to an old park where I have been doing well and dug the best condition nickels I have ever dug. A 1915 Buff. You can even see the horns on the buffalo.

    Before I called it a day I hit a new spot for about 45 minutes. Its a school that is on the 1939 map. I did not find any silver but I did find 2 old Indians! 1884 and 1893! I am very happy about those for sure. This place I am sure has been hit but I am positive there are some goodies left for me and my boys to dig up. This is the perfect place to take my boys detecting with me.
