Well after a personal war nickel drought I found my second-ever war nickel in the same week I found my first-ever. This one also rang up in the standard nickel range...although I have read they sometimes ring up higher than a normal nickel. Both of my war nickels are 1943 Ps...but this one looks like it sort of survived a fire.

I have only found one war nickel in five years of detecting. It rang up with a high tone and vdi number on my Sopv GT. After I dug it the tones and numbers were lower. Since I had been told that war nickels rang up as a nickel I took 11 of them that I had save from back in the early 69's and air tested them. Every one of them rang up as a nickel. Still do not know why that one rang up high. There was nothing else in the hole to confuse the detector.

Good going on your 2nd Silver Jefferson! Yes, sometimes they do come out of the ground in an unattractive state of preservation. I think that it is because of a combination of mineralization and fertilizer reacting to the coins composition. Best of luck and...
