My 1st silver coin!!!

[Mighty AP]

Last night we (LQ & I) counted up all our tumbled clad minus the pennies, all Quarters, Dimes & nickels we've dug up in 5 months................almost 1200 coins, $155! I figure Ive dug at least that many pennies, I dump those in a jar with my pocket change so I'll never know how many Ive dug. You would figure I'd dug up at least one silver coin with these numbers, right? Wrong! So I went to the coin shop today & spent $50 of clad on silver coins, bunch of WL halves, couple Franklin halves, some SLQ's & I guess the silver rubbed off on me. I dug my 1st silver coin tonight, a 1942D war nickel at 8 inches in the oldest park in town! As soon as I pulled it out I knew it was silver, nice & shiney..........even new nickels I dig are dark red! Also dug a 1946 wheatie at 8 inches plus, only my 5th in 5 months! Other thing in pic is a fishing lure/spoon, kinda cool. It was a great night tonight, diggin under a SILVERY moon!

I guess you just needed to see the shine before you could find your own, WTG.

If you got an older neighborhood around go and ask the owner of the house or hunt the tear downs or small vacant lots.. I have done great this year when it comes to silver on these type of properties. Older homes that are FOR SALE BY OWNER call the number and speak with the owner personally. 9 times out of 10 they say go ahead.
