Found my first a couple weeks ago and it felt great. Congratulations
 

Nice early buffalo ! Took me about 8 years to grab one - Still looking for my first Indian Head cent !
 

Congrats on your first buffalo. I took me a while to get my first too. Hopefully more will follow shortly.

Best of luck.
 

Nice that she you has a date. Funny I have never found one. Though I have found V-nickels and War nickels.
 

sweet nickel there is a silver there in that area some where keep digging
 

Congrats on your first Buffalo! It's a nice early one!
 

you got a date so that is pretty good, keep digging those signals and you will find even better things
 

After gaining a couple of years experience on the AT-PRO I changed so that I could hear the 45-50 range - because unless you are directly over that Buffalo Nickel that sucker may bounce from 49 to 52...and you won't hear the 49 if you have excluded. I have found that 'V' Nickels ring in at 50 or 51...and if they have crud built up on them 48 or 49.

Solid find!
 

Congrats on your first Buffalo. Yours is in very nice shape with a date.
