Well, i have been MDing for 5 years and have always wanted to find a Buffalo Nickle, and never did until the other day. Did not find it with the detector, i found it while raking leaves at a rent house i own. It was on top of the ground and i dont think it was ever buried underground and i dont know how it stayed on top as it was a 1929. It was in very good shape too. It was just covered with leaves. Jery
