40s surprise , a lil better than expected

Was aware of the silver war nickel but not of the wheat till cleaning up the coins. That sand can be quite nice to coins at times! Take this 1947-s wheat for example, thought it was new coinage on digging.

Your welcome !

You will if you keep at it! War Nicks read just a bit higher on my machines conductive scale! Regular Jefferson nicks come
in at 12 to 13 but this one read 16 at first then settled down to 14.

Todays a good day to swing that coil!

Congrats nice finds! Really good shape for dug coins!

I always miss the war nickels & silver coins by 1 year! I did get 2 wheats, didn't realize I had 2 till I soaked them to get the crud off. One I'm pretty sure is my oldest 1916.

Hi Ms, thanks ! Yeah that river sand is extremely nice to the coins ! Anytime you find a few Wheats you've had a decent hunt and chances are some silver will turn up there !
