    A small herd of Buffalos

    Got out Tuesday to a Park I did well at last year looking for oddball signals. Had good success on Nickels as I found 3 Buffalos and a few older Jeffersons. I did manage to locate a decent hi-tone that turned out to be a well wore '26 Merc. The only down side to this area is it is loaded with older wheats but the ground just destroys them. My February total on silver is up to 5 which is a bonus in Wisconsin. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger PS NO the nickels did not come out that nice - vinegar and salt and a lite wire wheel - not much value so I figured I give them a good scrubbing No date, 1925 and 1936

    Great job on the buffalos and the silver bonus. Looks like we may not be hunting again for a bit. Record high temperature yesterday, snow today. Welcome to Wisconsin!
