Tumble cleaned my clad coins, ended up with about $180 in clad for 2017, picture shows part of that clad, then some after tumbling, and then what I exchanged it all for.
Not to show off, but more to offer encouragement. I have had a hard time finding silver coins in the limited amount of time I've detected this year, as our ground here in Montana was frozen until about a week ago. Have hit it fairly hard since then and have found probably $25 in clad, 20 or so wheat pennies back to 1918, and another 100+ copper pennies. I did get a couple of nice Sterling Silver rings, but no silver coins found here in Montana so far. The way I look at it... 4 clad quarters, 2 clad dimes, and a nickel currently equals a Silver Dime!
I know we all want to DIG those silver coins, but sometimes they are not there, and the clad can go a long way to keeping our great hobby of metal detecting rewarding and fun!
