One more silver makes six for the week!

[Ray in WA]

I had a pretty good week in terms of silver finds. Today marks my sixth silver with a 1942 S war nickel.

The wife and I got some stuff done today as we're heading out of town tomorrow for a few days, and I figured I still had some time left to do a quick hunt. So off I went detecting for about an hour at the old school and found the war nickel with a drill hole. I haven't a clue whether some kid was just goofing off and thought it would look cool around his neck, or worse, did he drill it as a memorial to the year his father died in the war? I guess we'll never know.

As you can see by the pictures this coin was completely on edge at around 3". My Safari couldn't decide if it wanted to give me a silver or nickel tone, so it gave me both! Talk about having the hardest time pinpointing...hence the big plug.

See ya'll next week and HH,

Thanks folks!

Yes, elton, we all brag just a little, don't we? LOL

Hopefully I'll have some time to hit the school again tomorrow. I've only covered about a quarter to a third of the grassy play area and have pulled three silvers and an IH from the site. We'll see what the rest holds in store.

Ray when I start finding finds like yours, you guys will beg me to stop bragging. And I will include pictures of my puffed up chest and big fat swollen head....Z
