A little silver is better than no silver

[halfdime]

We had a mild afternoon, so in the interest of saving my sanity I decided to go detecting. Now there's a surprise . I've done the house next to my in-laws before, but environmental factors may have changed since so I went back. I found some clad that's fallen since I searched there, but managed also to find this little silver (charm?), two war nickels and a 41 wheat. This is a property where I found my one and only half reale, so every signal is worth considering; you never know which might be gold! Alas, none were today, but that's okay.

Well, congrats on the finds. That little silver piece looks kinda neat and I love the old war nickles with the mint mark above Monticello. I think I have about seven or eight of them (two of which I dug). Keep up the good finds. HH and good luck.

Nice job, Henry!

I really like digging the war nickels. They surprise me everytime I get one. A lot of mine sound the same as a deep wheatie. Only a couple sounded like a nickel. Must have been the interaction of the ground minerals working on those nickels to give them a higher pitch tone.

Congrats,

Congrats on the finds. A little silver is much better than no silver.

Glad that you were able to get out.

Nice war nickle. I was wondering what tone they have, never have dug one.

In my experience, war nickels are the most inconsistent tones out there. Some ring strong and almost quarter like, others weak and chirpy. You may never have dug one because you didn't like the signal you were given.
