4 silver coins & ring # 13 . 10% silver 1962 Mexican dollar

Hit the school field early again today . This is a school I have hunted back in November and had great luck with silver rings and silver coins . I hunted about 3 hours and found two silver Washington's, 1943 & 1944D , and a junk ring #13 . The silver Rosie , 1948 S , I found last night at another school . The 1944 Washington was 7 inches deep and when I got down to it I could not find it with my probe. I was looking around thinking I must have flung it out when digging . When I went to grab the shovel it was stuck in the dirt at the end . Also found this really big 1962 Mexican coin at 6 inches . Total clad from last nights 45 minute hunt and this mornings 3 hour hunt is $18.80 .

Re: Three silver coins & ring # 13

I think the large 1962 Mexican coin is silver !! It is call a Mexican silver dollar but what is the silver amount ? It cleans up like silver and at 6 inches deep still had some shine to it . Does anyone know it's silver content ? If it is silver this would be my 2nd large Mexican silver I have found in the last year .
Thanks
Glen

Here are more pictures after a good cleaning .

Re: Three silver coins & ring # 13

I just got the answer from another forum . Mexican pesos made from 1957-1967 had 10% silver.

Your peso weighs 16 grams and is composed of 10% (as noted above) silver; or .0514 oz. The coin commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Constitution. The image is that of Jose Morelos y Pavon.
61M were minted in Mexico City in 1962. Your other Mexican coin is composed of aluminum and bronze.
Great finds!
