Now there is a story to this find.
Around one year ago I moved house.
Prior to that when I was around 5 (now 14) My grandfather managed to get me and my two brothers Buffalo Nickles. My brothers not being interested just left them and they have probably since rotted. But due to the fact that the one I got was at least in F condition a day later I put it in a tin box and buried it. A time capsule of sorts. So yesterday I just realised I still had garage keys to my old house,so I went to my old door chapped, asked them if they wanted the keys back and they agreed. So chancing my luck I said, I buried something here years ago, mind if I hunt it down with an MD and dug it, I'd fill it up and it'd look good as new when I'm done though I reasured her. She reluctently said yes and today I hit the old spot. Got a reading on my ace and dug. When I finished digging I knew it was the same box from yesteryear. So I thanked the woman, filled the hole et cetera et cetera. I opened the box only to find the coin a bit more worn but still good.
Due to my digi cam being broken I had to do the pics with my crappy Webcam. On the reverse there is a sort of blob with what looks like what used to be a dip. I was thinking it might have been a D as in denver print but I cannot be sure and will need to take a webcam picture when it gets fixed, if it gets fixed, and see what you guys think

FN: Oh and if it makes any difference it is a 1936 with a possible D, and as to the glow on the pics it is due to the fact that I am under a halogen light and my webcam also has a light so it is giving a weird glow, most seen on the front side, and also slightly on the reverse.
Erm oops could this be moved to Todays finds please
