Folks, When I detect the silvers hide under a rock...lol.

Folks,

Went for an early afternoon hunt...the park is nearby circa 1900 so I'm sure there's still some silvers that were missed by me
and others.

Well for whatever reason the silvers must hide under a rock when I detect there....

5 coppers 1940 to 1957 and not a silver in sight.

Regards + HH

Well hey, with pennies of that age there MUST be some silver there. Good luck bill!

Hey Bill,

Great looking pennies and an afternoon of detecting--life is good, silver or no silver! Congrats, -Lisa & John

J. Cache,

The main problem is the soil is quite dry no serious rain for several weeks....I'm hoping for some fall rains so I can get to the deeper stuff.

dug a 1966 canadian cent a few weeks ago. not silver, but a good find.

 

[Tradertom]

Even without silver that's still a good picture.

Looks good Uncle.
Silver must detect approach , or little elves collected fresh drops and hid them somewhere.
Silver sure can get elusive for whatever reason , but is still out there..somewhere.

I like the old king George pennies. Hopefully some rain will help you find the deeper silver

What do you Canadians do with your worthless pennies now days?

 

[Professor of Engineering]

I bet there is silver lurking around for you to find!

 

[bill from lachine]

SD,

I tumble them and roll them up and cash them in at the bank...they're not used for financial transactions any more but the banks still accept them and send them back to be melted.

Thank you. Did not know that. I keep all the large cents I find. Only one this year, and i keep all the king George the 5th, and the newer king George. So why tumble them if they are never going back into circulation and only going to be melted? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[against the wind]

Congratulations on your hunt.
The weight of the copper penny makes it worth more than a penny. From 1942 to 1996, Canadian pennies were 98% copper. The melt value of 600 pennies from that time period is worth $8.15 USD based on today's copper melt values.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

They are there somewhere, you'll find their congrating place next trip.
Nice wheats! Congrats!

Maybe one of those rocks they are hiding under will be a really large gold nugget!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Ya know, you might just have something there! I always hear this strange sort of rumbling sound, every time I arrive at a place to walk. Maybe THAT's what's going on!

Nice array!

 

[bill from lachine]

SD,

Force of habit since the tumbler does most of the work...lol.
Plus they fit easier in the wrappers without all the crud on them.

ATW,

Unfortunately it's against the law to melt down coins, exception being the Canadian mint....beside even if someone were to melt them down and make ingots it would probably cost more than it's worth unless you're dealing with industrial quantities at a time.

Nice copper Bill. It's amazing how much better the old pennies (pre-1996) look coming out of the ground. The newer ones look like they were run over by a dozen mowers after a year in the dirt.

 

[rhedden]

I once found two Barber quarters under a large rock - 1896 and 1898 - so maybe you should start lifting those rocks?

 

[DigIron2]

Probably some silver hiding somewhere. I know the them liitle jokers like to elude my coil. Nice hunt Bill
