Silver and more!.......

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Short water hunt in an old area produced today. I know there is gold in there, but only silver today. Got over 50 coins, including 3 wheats, a 1943 S silver war nickel, a 1956, and 64 Canadian pennies, a catholic pendant, and a nice older sterling ring. It is very small, a little smaller than a dime. (size 4)

I also wanted to show you guys who don't water hunt what the acid in the lake bottoms do to the coins. Notice how clad that has been in the water many years are getting the copper eaten away from between the silver. Here are 3 quarters and 4 dimes from the 60's and 70's.

Nice finds, me son! The zinc pennies are eaten up after being in the ground for even a little while! Shows that the coins minted today don't have much value unless they are made of precious metals! God Bless! Ma Betty
