breakfast hunt

[Viddy]

Day 2 of my detecting-vacation and I hit a park in an old steel mill town from the early 1900's. It actually was one of the largest steel producers in the world during the 40's. I went out there for a few hours this morning.

this is what I got and then called it time for lunch. The cuff link is bronze. And of course.... I got a few keys, as usual.

Couldn't help but notice "clad nickels" in your 2013 count. Are referring to any nickels after the Buffalo series (Jefferson nickels)? Just curious, as I have never heard them referred to as "clad"......I thought that term was just for the sandwiched coins with zinc or copper centers. Regardless, looks like you had a good breakfast!!

@ Roland-- the Brits call anything newer than when silver was pulled out of circulation 'clad'. Some of us do the same-- referring to the era rather than the actual manufacturing process.

That cuff link is pretty neat

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification. It is always an education on this forum!!
