Very nice find eboy1960! :notworthy:
It's in nice shape too! :o

I always look for old pine and maple trees to hunt under, some of my best finds have come from these spots! :thumbsup: I guess people back in the olden days used to spend a lot of time resting under them. :laughing7:

Here are a couple of my favourite finds from the base of maple trees!

wow those are nice finds :icon_thumright:

Thanks eboy, I hope you don't think I was trying to take away from your posted find. :-\
Just wanted to make everyone aware that the base of trees almost always hold old finds. Usually because the tree roots tend to protect dropped relics from the elements. :icon_thumright:

My Grandad told of working a field in the 30's. Went to the lone shade tree left in the corner of the field to eat lunch. Found a half dime under that tree. Seems someone else had eaten lunch there sometime. So if ya ever see one tree in a field........
Nice find.
 

Congrats on the buffalo.Still looking for my first buff. Found my first indian head penny by an old maple stump.
Good luck and happy hunting,
Jim
