I am posting this in Today's Finds even though I found them yesterday because I just got them cleaned up and photographed. On the 9th of this month I dug two silver war nickles, a 1945 and 1942. Then yesterday the 23rd, I dug two more, a 1943 and 1944. That is every year of silver war nickle you can find (42, 43, 44, 45)! Two hunts three weeks apart! I'm walking on air!!!

Now you got to take it to the next level and dig all the mint marks for each war nickel year!

Yeah I often think about that. I will even imagine where that item went and who owned it before it was dropped and waited all those years until I was the next person to hold it in my hand.
