Are Canadian quarters made out of steel. I have a 1977 that sticks to a magnet.

1977 Canadian quarters are made out of 100 % Nickle and are magnetic.
If you just want to detect modern Canadian clad in a public park in Canada, a strong magnet works great. I taught my Canadian nieces and nephews in Edmonton that trick and they always carry magnets with them now........
What do you want Canadian coins for?
I do have a 1940 penny and a 1911 half. The half is sellable!
Otherwise I trash my foreign coins, unless they are old.
Tried! Find a kid you can pull away from an Xbox! Search far, and wide.Trash them ? OMG... Find a kid who's interested in starting a foreign coin collection.
My son got his FIRST video game - a PS4 - for Christmas. He was ecstatic. Yet, that afternoon, I said you want to go detecting? He said of course. He detected more over Christmas break than video game. And he loves coins. And fishing...Tried! Find a kid you can pull away from an Xbox! Search far, and wide.

Sounds just like my son was. Then he turned into a teenager. My advice would be to keep him away from video games as long as possible, he has some great hobbies. Now that my son is 19, video games are more important than girls, or money.My son got his FIRST video game - a PS4 - for Christmas. He was ecstatic.

They're out there. Gotta plant the seed, water it, weed it... I pray I can keep him engaged.

I had the tik Tok app on my phone for a little while out of curiosity. I deleted it because it was a waste of time even though there was interesting stuff on it.Sounds just like my son was.
