You need the date on the halfs and the backs on the nickels to see if they have any silver. The one half looks like it may be 40% The nickels may be but you need to look for a mint mark on the back.

any tector i can get my hands on
what is it you're asking ? they're silver in color but they dont look silver. the 46 nickels might be ? somebody correct me if i'm wrong ? silver content in nickels isnt even enough to get excited about though. the search continues.

None of the nickels are silver......but silver nickels are currently worth around 85 cents so I wouldn't discard them.

None of those nickels are silver and are worth only a nickel each. The halves look like clad...can't tell from the photos about the quarters or dollars.

once you acquire the so called eye you can usually tell silver coins from the clad ones

I believe the silver percentage in a war nickel is 35%.
