Well I only had about 45 min so I ran to the park up the street. I gridded out an area and went to town. I found a decent amount of clad, some old motor thing, still has little gears. Then a solid signal:headbang:.... 1942 war nickel, and I don't know if it was coincidence but a 42 wheatie in the same hole. Nothing major, but I'm still pumped. Perfect way to end the day:laughing7:

Yeah I was stoked!i wasn't expecting because the machine was rolling on 68/79 consistently. Must have been the strong copper from the penny and nickel with just enough silver to get to the high 70s? I pulled it out saw no tarnish really and said , no way. Then cleaned up and said ah yeah silver for me!
 

Congratulations on the two 42s!:icon_thumleft:
 

Good finds! HH
