IF I'M GONNA FIND CLAD, may as well be a buck at a time? 8) CONGRATS Onionhead : The Composition : .770 copper / .120 zinc / .070 manganese and .040 nickel.

I hope your next find is a camera, under the tree, from Santa.
I found my first dollar coin last week. I wish it had been a Silver
dollar....but now that I am Froze In I can't wait to get out
there... Keep us posted. Sounds like you have had some super
finds. Good luck on the camera HH BRINK

Yup, those 'gold dollars' are manganese brass. No gold. And in salt water they turn an ugly brown in minutes. Still, they clean up nice with salt/ vinegar and a good rub. And spend ok too.
