Bought 2,000 nickles today, and had a blast searching them. I think this will be a fun backup hobby when I can't get out there and metal detect. Had several finds I enjoyed, and here are my results.

2 canadian nickles and a penny
These will definatly go nicely in the coin books I plan to buy soon. I want to see if I can fill all the Jefferson books from hunting. I also want to do an extra one for my dad, since he likes coins too. And it will make a good gift, since his birthday is in October.
Looks like I have 2 silver in there, as the 44 and 45 both have a P above Monticello. Is 1 silver per 1000 coins average? Or did I get lucky/shafted? Also, why are there so many 1964 nickles? I must have gone through 60 of them at least. I set aside all the 60s and 70s to sort later, once I get a book or two, and man, the '64s were everywhere.
Thanks to all of you for helping me with this fun little hobby. I can see how it can be truly addictive. Also checked 1,800 dimes, but no silver there .
