10 wheats and possible silver?

[washingtonian]

Hey everybody, my brother and I were finally able to get permission to hunt a campground that we've haven't gotten to hit since September. It didn't disappoint, in about 2.5 hours of detecting we found 85 pennies, 3 nickels, 15 dimes, and 12 quarters. Unfortunately no silver coinage this time, but I know its out there. 3 of the pennies were Canadian, and one was a 1946 Canadian penny. The dates of the 10 wheats are 1955 D x2, 1944, 1945, 1925 s(I am 90% sure this is right, it could also be 1923 or 1928), 1957 D, 1956 D, 1952 s, 1957 D, and 1958. They are all in terrible condition from the ground here which seems to turn all of the coins a putrid orange, and destroys the detail. Oh well I will take them, and its amazing all the dates are readable as well! In addition we found 2 baseball no cash value tokens, a 1970s hot wheel, a pendant from a necklace with a picture of a family (It is difficult to tell in the picture), and this little silver or pewter piece of jewelry. It came out of the ground looking brand new just like silver, and rang up in the mid 70s on my DFX, which isn't uncommon for small silver objects. Let me know if you find out anything about it. Thanks for looking and have a great day

Nice work, looks like you covered all the major food groups on this one! as far as the charm to me it looks silver, have you checked it with a high power magnafier or loupe yet, and if marked it may be in an odd spot and be tiny, check it out and let us know, or maybe google the name on the back, if that is a makers mark that is. HH!

Man you guys killed it!, Your Hotwheel mabe worth some bucks.. does it have redlines??, Take your wheats and put them in a potatoe for 24 hours and see if they cleaned up any. Sounds familiar old spot 1000 lincolns and no Silver

The potatoe method does not work! I tried it and it does not work for wheaties in washington. Amonia works the best. The pendent doesn't look silver.

Great hunt. I think finding wheaties here is like finding silver back east lol. Those seem to be the best we can do most of the time while those guys find silver left and right.
