A bizarre slump this year got broken by this great looking coin...1934.:headbang:

Today was a great hunt...also pulled a couple of dimes, a 47-D Rosie..and a sharp 1936 Merc... so I am happy with those for sure.

The 3 wheats were highlighted by a 1916...awesome!

BUT..the Belle of the ball is the 1944 Phillipines 5 centavo....
It has an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel.....these were minted for the Phillipines during WW2, a foreign war nickel!!!

Great silver hunt,, congrats on the wheats.
That 5 Centavo war Nickel was probably a
souvenir brought home by a returning
serviceman, if only our finds could talk. :icon_thumright:
 

Those were my thoughts as well....

minted in Philly, spent in the Phillpines, then brought to and lost in Ft. Myers...cool

prolly my most well-traveled coin I ever found!
 

Sure was a great day for you.Any time a three silver day was unearthed like that one would result in a happy dance all the way home .The 1934 is super.
 

Congrats and welcome to the club Dave club Washington baby!
