Been trying to get the finds posted from last weekends hunt and finally got off early enough from work to do so. So here are the finds recovered from that trip.

Dug another 9 Silver for the year and might get out one more time to add to the pile. Silver included 1 Washington Quarter, an 1899-O Barber Dime, 3 Merc's, 3 Roosevelt Dimes and 1 War Nickel.

Some hunters don't count War Nickels as Silver but when a Roosevelt Dime is worth $1.24 in Silver and a War Nickel is worth 0.96 cents in Silver as of 11/21/2019, I think that is pretty close as far as value goes to count War Nickels.

Other coin finds were 2 Older Jefferson Nickels (buddy got a V and finally a Buffalo) and 24 Wheat Pennies (and of course he had to get an Indian Head).

Misc. finds included 2 Tags, an Old Zipper Pull, a Key, an Old Buckle and a Sterling Silver Ring with an Agate for a Stone and an Arrowhead on each side.

Clad not shown but dug another 64 Quarters, 32 Dimes, 13 Nickels and 56 Pennies.

That does it for the finds. Hope your all getting out and digging great finds. Until next time, Best of Luck and HH to you all. Thanks for stopping in and taking a look. Silver King.

Hey! Thats a great hunt! Besides all the wild found silvers, I especially like your clad count of $20.41 and your awareness of silver melt values!

$20.41 clad equals another 14 silver merc dimes! Or @7 SLQs! Or @3 Walker halfs! or @1 Morgan dollar and a Barber half and a war nickle! Or 21 War Nickles! So yeah, just in clad alone you Killed it! Nice work!

Heck, the wheat pennies and copper ps are worth 3c each melt! So theres another Merc or Barber D you found right there! Just in popping the pennies!:laughing:
 
IHP found finally Mark.

Thanks Mud-Puppy for the comment. Everything adds up towards the end...even the junk copper, brass, lead and so on. Can't forget about that extra cha-ching.
 
Re: Lovestheshiny.

Wow, nice finds, and they all cleaned / washed up really good! A great hunt, congrats!

Sure love when the Silver comes clean under running water that is for sure. Hope winter is short for us up north here so we both can dig more Silver and add to the collections.
 
And thanks for all the other comments. Appreciate it and Best of Luck and HH to you all in your adventures outdoors. Silver King.
