Yes all the coins were clad, although I found 2 wheat cents dated 1956 & 1958-D and I have found silver coins at this HUGE "CC" area that has two baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, playground area & even a very large outdoor swimming pool with a lot of green space for Kids of all ages to play. I have hunted here at least 8 times before in the last 5 years and always find a lot of clad coins. TODAY 3/8/2019 I found 40 quarters, 5 dimes & 13 pennies that included the 2 wheat cents noted above for a total of 58 coins & $ total of $10.63. Good Luck & HAPPY HUNTING to ALL.

Hey, "peruna"....Yes & Thank you for your comment....My avatar picture of a 1/2 Real Cob was found at a local park here in Florida right next to one of the oldest Spanish Missions in Florida called "Mission San Luis de Apalachee" was a Spanish Franciscan mission built in 1633 in the Florida Panhandle which dates not long after the settlement of Saint Augustine Florida, the oldest continuous city in America Founded: September 1565. My daughter, an Archaeologist, graduated from FSU & served as an Archaeologist for the State of Florida for over 20 years working at that historical site: "Mission San Luis de Apalachee".......So, Yes.....I never know what I am going to find in FLORIDA & of course then we have the TREASURE COAST of many Spanish shipwrecks that WE ALL KNOW ABOUT, right?
Good Luck to Everyone & HAPPY HUNTING. BILL

Hey, "thrifty76now".....Thanks for your comment, my friend & I am also "thrifty" because I use all rechargeables in my detecting equipment - I have a standing order for Christmas & birthdays for rechargeable batteries and I have not bought regular batteries for years - lol....but that clad does come in handy for "gas money" and buying silver coins for my "SILVER stacking" - as I believe SILVER is way too cheap compared to Gold and that "paper fiat" stuff. GOOD LUCK & Happy Hunting. BILL
 

Nice hunt. I also like hunting in Catholic school yards, I always find tons of quarters at these sites!

Hey, Tommy....Thanks for your comment, my friend -- Yes that is the 9th time I have been to that "CC" area (I keep good records-lol) and I have found 274 quarters there alone which is an average of over 30 per trip -- so I guess I need to keep going back. GOOD LUCK & Happy Hunting.... BILL
 

Not a bad hunk of change for one hunt. Congrats.
 

Nice score on the clad, congrats! :occasion14:
