First Buffalo at 15" with XP Deus

[veemaxx]

True story, didn't know they were so big. Folks must of had some big pockets back then. The Walker was only about 5", these were both in a public park.

Sweet finds. Those walkers are huge, especially coming out of the ground.

Still trying to figure the size of the buffalo, by the tape it looks right at 3"

That buff is a souvenir fantasy coin, sold by Cracker Barrel restaurants and maybe a few other places.
To be used as a coaster, paperweight...whatever.
Key dates, here is an Indian they also sell.
Never heard of anyone ever digging one up before so...cool!

I looked it up and you are right about it being used as a coaster. It is 3 inches in diameter, being so deep in that park I'm guessing it has to be a "plant" probably by another detecterist.

LOL!
Could be a plant, but who goes to all that effort to do that and then not be there to see a reaction?
More logical is this was used as a weight to keep picnic table covers in place and it was left behind.
In soft soil I can see it sinking deep given enough time...they are heavy.

Lots of places have sold all kinds of these replicas over the years.
