Would you believe a 1936 buffalo nickel lying on top of the ground. Pic taken as found.
Arizona tax token, US Army button ww2 era, a tiny button that says Scovill harmonica reed, a tiny spoon handl w/made in usa stamp.
And a few "friends" dropped by.
In situ pics for Tom.

The buffalo was on surface, everything else was 2-3 inches. Easy digging.

Looks like it was dropped the year it was minted, laying out there nearly 90 years, hard to believe.

That's what I thought as well, great catch Mikey!

I dont think this site was ever detected, kind of hidden behind " progress", large area too probably 20 acres. I'll be going back again.

Sounds like you found a great spot!

Keep hitting it until there is not a "BEEP" to be heard!

Mikey, great post as usual. I love the in-situ pictures. And the site-terrain shots. Beautiful country ! Also: Your soil is very kind to nickels !

Congrats on the Buff and other goodies. I have found old coins on the surface and it does make you wonder. Good luck, Mark

That Buff pic is super cool. What a kick to hunt such a place. The overall scenery pictures are just awesome - make me miss the desert all that much more.

Look forward to more!

That's awesome! I did the same thing Saturday in NV. Stopped at a CCC camp and pulled 2 Buffs and a Utah tax token!

kingman mikey · Nov 15, 2021

Very cool. What a coincidence.
