Hi there!

I snuck out of work about an hour early today to head back downtown near where Richard & I dug three silvers each yesterday. The sky was kinda clear today, and it stayed light enough to see well until about 5:30 pm ~ I was able to detect for about 2 hours. This is the second day in a row where I dug more silver dimes than clad dimes! Here's what I dug today:

1943-S Washington Quarter
1928-S Mercury Dime
1944-S Mercury Dime
1960-D Roosevelt Dime
1961-D Roosevelt Dime
1943-S War Nickel
1944 Canadian Cent
5 Wheats dating from 1928 to 1956
2 clad quarters
3 clad dimes
11 Memorial cents

I took pic's of the silver coins before and after I cleaned them up. This makes 19 silver coins for the year so far (not including the War Nickel).

Thanks for looking!
Neil

THANKS!

Yeah, I know there's plenty of silver in them there War nickels ~ but it's only like 35% of the coin. I've set a standard for myself ~ I only count a silver coin if it's at least 50% Silver. That's including Foreign coins.
 

Great "quickie" hunt, Neil. Lots of silver in your pics.
Are you hunting Eugene? When in Salem I hunted a few places, but didn't find squat. Couldn't
do much hunting, as my time was pretty well used up.
Again, great hunt. :thumbsup:
