Short but eclectic hunt!

Decided last minute to go swing. There is a small grassy lawn like area on the edge of campus where a house was taken down some 30 years ago, I do not know the build date. I figured I could survive the heat if it went below 90……
I got there about 6:30 and sundown is 8:15 and I’m sweating just walking the half block. Fire her up and start a circular pattern around a larger mature tree and the very first target I dig was a Wheat, this could be good (cant read the date). I keep going around the tree and hit a very clean tab target that just sounded to hard and clear so I dug the 4” target. Buffalo???? Dang, cant read the date either. I made it just to the opposite side of the tree and dig a clad quarter, so far so good!!! I get back around to the sidewalk side of the tree and start the next circular extension. Bang! Solid 84 (quarter) so I dig, silver????? Can this place get any better? Worked up the shallow incline and targets were getting fewer so went back to the 15’ wide strip between the trees and the sidewalk. Next few coins were just Memorials, a dainty buckle of some type and a revolver casing.
I get home and clean the coins. 1962 quarter, 1958 wheat, 1925 Buffalo, and all the mems were mid 60s. I had to clean the casing pretty vigorously but it was marked PETERS 32-20!

Even 2:00 hrs can bring you some pretty interesting finds. Go when you can but be careful of the heat, it hit me pretty good.

That' cool anytime you get a buffalo and you can read the date. Nice hunt

Silver and a Buffalo is a nice and fun hunt. We had a little reprieve on heat/humidity spell for a few days. Mid 60's for lows and mid 80's for highs, but back into the 90's starting tomorrow with 90's humidity. Good little hunt you had. HH Jim Tn

That was a great site indeed you tried.
I agree, even a short hunt can be productive… go when you can get out!

Short and silver sweet with wheaties on top to me that’s a super two hour hunt!

Hech yeah, that's some sweet fines right there Ron, may want to try some different angles on that area.

Drinking coffee this morning figured I better look the nickel up. Dang, it is a 1925D but probably would grade G 3.5 so missed it by that much!!!!!
The (a) indicates there were uncirculated coins worth a lot more…..

Nice hunt. A 25-D Buffalo is a nice find. Way to go!

Nice Buffalo Ron. Maybe the next one will be a three legged Buffalo.
