I just got back from an hour and 20 minute hunt in the yard I hit this morning . This thing is full of silver! I found four silver dimes and two war nickels this morning and found two more silvers right at dark. The button was found this morning.I am gonna remember this spot for a long time. :)

Good stuff, birdman! Keep that silver coming.

LOL,Mastereagle,kind of a long drive for you but come on . Better hurry before we get snow lol.

We just drove 9 and a half hours to hunt. Watch out I may just be knocking on your door. :D
 
Nice digs birdman!

Isn't yard hunting fun? My silver count went up this year because I got permission to search those older yards. Hope there's more where that came from!

Hi:

Great finds! Have a question on the war nickels. I have found some with the date of 1942 but dont have the marking of P or S over the dome, are they war nickels?
 
This has been your version of the "Shark Pit." ;D

It was the kind of site you have there that Lonewolfe found his gold piece at in Grand Rapids.

Nice finds again.

Technically no..1942 was a crossover date..some 1942 nickels have no silver content, those are the ones without the large mint letter over the dome. The large letter over the dome are the nickels that contained silver. (Nickel was critical for the war effort at the time, so it was eliminated from the coins until 1946).
