Nice score!

It only counts if your detector was in the car while you were at the store. Lol

That's how I found my only silver dollar. Lol

I'd say your internal VDI screen was working perfectly...you might have been busy squinting or blinking, and just couldn't read it.

Apparently he really did shut it down lol. It didn't even save the post I made. No one else had posted when I did.
Good find Gary. I had said that I even check my change and none had turned up there either, lol

It's a curse, I get a bit "retentive" when it comes to punctuation. Who knew!?! :dontknow:

When I saw this one in my hand I thought of you! LOL I said he's never going to forgive me! Now, the coins are
coming to me!!! LOL

I feel a country song is not far in the future. A sad tale about a guy who metal detects and cannot find a war nickel. There will of course be old pick-ups, Budweiser beer and girls mentioned in the song.

Sweet! Don't see these guys too often in circulation :thumbsup:
35% silver by weight, the least silver content percentage of any US coin but still a fun find and interesting history behind its creation.

True, but it's the highest content of any nickel. ;)

Thanks!
