    Hello everyone,
    On Wednesday 3/17 I did a 5 hour Metal Detecting hunt at Hunter Island located in the Bronx NYC. First day of a small vacation I began.

    I'm currently in Effort Pennsylvania at my sister's home. Finally got a chance to clean my finds a bit to show them all to you!

    2 - US Silver
    2 - V-Nickels
    2 - Buffalo Nickels
    1 - Indian Head Cent
    6 - Wheat Cents
    This picture is from Wednesday..

    Hope that '08 Indian was an 'S' mint. Your niece looks like "the best treasure" (and you didn't even need to use your metal detector discover her !):playful:

    Boy, the silver coins certainly fared better than the others. Wait, is that buffalo a 18 over 17? LOL

    Hey.. I just read your post.
    Thanks.
    I had a hard time getting any date from the Buffalo.
    I always recommend the new machine I have..
    AV Minelab Vanquish 440 or 550
    It's the red one on the right side..
