Clad means any composit coin made after 1964 in the US.
Most are junk after 10 to 20 years in the ground, depending
on the soil type in your area.

Wilver is just KirkPA's term for silver of any sort. You are correct on "coppas" (also from the Kirkster himself).

Other terms:

"Zincoln" = a zinc lincoln penny

"LC" = a Large Cent

"TID" and "VDI" = terms for the number "signatures" that appear on many ID detectors

"KGC" = could mean a treasure legend about the Knights of the Golden Circle or it could be slang for a King George Copper
