Only took me 16 months to find my first silver war nickel! It's a 1942 P and in pretty decent condition. It was 4 inches down and came up as a nickel signal and not as silver. But I thought it might be another pewter button, so I dug it. Glad I did!

Here's some pics:

Sorry for the multiple pics! Almost impossible to delete pics from here! VERY annoying!

P.S. Never mind, I figured out how to delete the extra pics!

Nice find! Thanks for sharing...
 
Congrats on that first ! May it be one of many !
 
Nice one Tim. That's one that is still on my " to do " list. If they are like most coins, your second will soon be here too.
 
Nice digs and thanks for those pictures
 
really sweet, on my bucket list too
 
Thanks for all the great replies! I learned a valuable lesson from this find. From now on, I'm digging ALL nickel signals! It will be a pain, but worth it if I get a silver nickel once in awhile.
 
I dig silver nickel signals and get pull tabs, lol.
