1943 P War Nickel. Found it in a park mixed in with a hotbed of nails. My Ace 250 had no problem picking it out of the patch. I miss that little yellow guy. Visited the same park not too long ago with the Deus. Left with a 46 Washington and a 1903 Indian Head. Not bad for 25 minutes.
 

1943 D merc :D! It's my lucky coin, and it's brought me even more silver while serving that role :D.
 

Wow, I don't remember.....I started metal detecting in 1971.....over 41 years ago, and with over 200,000 coins found.....Back then over 90% of all the dimes, quarters, half dollars, and Dollars I found were SILVER......"The Good Old Days"....LOL.......
 

Heck, I can't remember yesterday! I really have no clue but probably was a Roosie.

HH!
