Hi everyone, This is my first post. Sorry no pics, my digital is broke :'( I've been MD the past few weeks and wanted to share what my husband and I have found. We live in NC, so there are alot of feilds around and old houses. We found a 1950,51 and 57 silver quarters, 1950,63 silver dimes, 1918 (found when I was a cashier),37 penny, and a 1939, 45(found when I use to be a cashier),47 nickel. The cool thing about the 1945 nickel is that it use to be a war nickel. I guess between 1942-45 they needed the nickel for war and put more silver into these nickels. I've always wondered why it looked so different. When we first moved here, we found a swimming hole that was almost dry from the lack of rain, so we decided HEY...........that would be a GREAT spot. Who's going to care if we dig small holes? I mean we always cover them back anyway. So we are digging away and find quarter after quarter, rings, keys and other stuff when a park ranger came down and told us we could do that....OOPS.........! We ended up leaving with over $30 in clad (I guess that's what you all call it) It was fun while it latest anyway!
