Pocket spill=clad and Canadiian silver?

[cooper1841]

Hunted an old home site(Grass field) that I have hit hard , but keep finding good stuff, now and again. Today the usual clad, an old buckle...................then.......................a high tone with no vdi numbers, circled and scanned over and over........................always faint scratchy high tone, no numbers, so I dug. At the bottom of a hole, that was excatly the depth of my Garrett Pro Pointer is long, a quarter, a nickel, and four dimes, one of which is a 1977 Canadian! Sure looks silver to me? But 1977?

I've been fooled several times by Canadian coins. You see a silver-colored edge sticking out of the ground and then see it's a modern Canadian. Happened at least twice.

About half of the 1968 dimes and quarters are .500 silver. About half way through the year they went to clad. You usually can tell visually or with a magnet.
