Etecting at my school today, clad, buttons, wheaties, and buffalos. A nice 1927 buffalo nickle. Any suggestions on cleaning this guy? Distilled water? Peroxide? Thanks for the great hunt oxbowbarefoot. Lookin forward to some silvers next time! Sorry for the blurry pics guys! HH to all

Nice find , I would only clean it with soap, you can use warm peroxide and then some bees wax for the detail .... I wouldnt get to aggresive with cleaning it ...

sweet, thanks for the cleaning tips. the 1 and only wheatie from this hour long hunt is a 1958. didnt include that in the text. the buffalo is in very good condition seeing in how in could have been in the ground at least half a century. my ipod camera sucks but in person its in very nice shape. silver awaits me! Thanks for tips all and HH

Great find! Not bad for a 45 minute hunt. I'm sure we will dig up a few more goodies around the school.

Any time you can find a Buffalo with a readable date is a great find

Congratulations on the buffalo. I would consider you pretty lucky to find a coin that old at a school. It happens but not to often. Good luck in your future hunts.

I believe my school w as built in 1916. It's in a cinder block in the side of the building.found countless wheat pennies and this very nice looking ( in person) buffalo. A 21 standing liberty was pulled out of t here recently too.
