Oldest Indian and a VERY clean Buff + Rosie!

It's been a long time since I had a week like this! A silver, an indian, and a buffalo!!

Hit my 1939 honey hole school (fun fact: this school was among one of the many schools that was in FDR's New Deal plan.. Thought that was interesting;)) and explored in some areas I hadn't hit. 20 minutes later, I pulled a 1952 Rosie. It would be my only find for the night.

A few days later, I retured to my second favorite spot, the old housesite in town! Dug a bunch of trash as usual.. Got a 70-72 on the AT pro.. Figured it was going to be another Zinc, but to my surprise a green looking disk came out! The only spot that was clean was the date--1884! It must have been VF when dropped. I cleaned it up with a peroxide bath and she looks.. decent. Returned the next day in hopes of pulling more goodies. I dug a zinc penny that rang in as a 75. After taking the penny out, I had a 60 VDI in the hole. I ALMOST didn't dig it but I thought, why not? Out pops a CLEAN 1918 buffalo. That saved my day right there! Always dig those uncertain sigals!

... Also, would you guys watch videos of me detecting? I've been on the edge of starting a new channel, but unsure as of now because my waterproof camera died on me :bummer:

Anyway, that's all. I also have been doing shark teeth/fossil hunting, if anyone wants to see photos I'll post them. :grin:

Sorry for sideway pics..

Congrats on some very nice coins.
I enjoy fossil hunting as well. Mostly Ferns from the Mazon Creek formation in Illinois.
