1st Silver Has Been Found

[NavMode]

Closed the office a little early and went to a park that has given up only clad so far.
I decided to walk the street side of the park. Hit a few clad pennies and dimes and a lot of trash.
All of a sudden the "Yeller Feller" let out a yelp that just didn't sound familiar. I looked at the
upper scale and it kept steady on a Nickel at 4 inches. I pinpointed and dug down but missed. Got my CENTECH
out and found it on the side of my hole. A 1944 S War Nickel, looking just as shiny as the day someone lost it.
I didn't even nick or scratch it. This nickel was no more than 4 feet from the street and just 4 inches down.
Found only clad and trash the rest of the hunt, but the Silver Drought is Over

As I was in the middle of my HAPPY DANCE I noticed a few people staring, but hey it was my first silver.

Nice find. Ain't many of those war nickels floating around. That could be an indication that some more oldies are laying around there.
