Well I tied my best silver day finds with 2 -- merc dimes - 1937 and 1942 plus I found an Indian head penny - 1908 - my second - a buffalo nickel - 1920 my second, and a wheat penny 1942. This is my best day ever with finding old coins. I started the day in the woods where I found nothing and ending up at one of my son's school finding the old stuff. I did try a city school near the valley but only found 27 cents and a ton of junk. I did do a lunch hunt yesterday and found 55 cents. The clad total was low but that's okay - I'll take the older coins anytime.
