Early Buffalo Nickle - Type 2 1914 or 1917

[MigColG]

The Nakto Simplex with the 9.5 by 5 inch coil continues to impress. This early Buffalo found at the 1902 house I've been working. Lots of metal debris, but the machine locked on solid. When you pull nails and other debris out of the same hole as the coin, you know your machine is doing it's job. The date is either 1914 or 1917.

Nice Buffalo! Hopefully there's more down there. Working the debris is hard but it pays off!
