Nice! Did either the Australian or Philippines coins have an S mint-mark? The US, San Diego mint, minted coins for several countries during WWII era. I don't remember which all, but I know both those 2 countries were among them. I have a 1948 Australian 3-pence which has an S mint mark.

Finding silver under dust or dirt is an AWESOME find Mark.
