Got a Hunt in finally and scored a big Silver and a little Silver!!

[Digger RJ]

Got to get a 3 hour hunt in today before an evening obligation. I picked a random area off Google Earth in a distant City and took off. The area I picked didn’t check all the boxes so I went a street over and scored a couple permissions.
The first house and first signal was a Wheat. After about the fourth pass close to the front steps and I got a banging 99 signal. I figured a can. I popped the plug and it first it looked like a large token until I moved a little dirt, and there was Good Ol’ Ben looking up at Me. Sweet!!! So thankful to find these . I also scored a little round disk that had a cross on it. When I cleaned it up later it was stamped 925! So two Silvers today!!
Silver#6fty!! Wheats-1919,1940,1949,1951D,1948,1949D,1-no date
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!!

Really cool!! Just curious, how much is that coin worth aprox? I live in Canada, trying to familiarize myself with US coins.

Also, any guess about that little silver circle? Wonder what it was for...

Being dug, and the condition it's in pick the lower amount which is silver value.
For a personal detector's collection, the person value exceeds the book price any day.

With the staining probably $5-$7. I don’t sell though. The little Silver cross circle is a pendant that broke off a chain. It has the spot where it was attached on edge.

When you turn that plug over and you see that silver looking back at you--that's a good feeling right there. Congrats.
