I have dug up around $45.00 in clad so far this year but anything Silver has been very elusive. Hunting tot lots, Playgrounds, parks and the beach. Hunting some areas that every time I get a high pitched target I expect a piece of silver to come out of the dirt. I have found Indian Heads, Wheat Lincolns but no Silver until this past Saturday. I went to an Old (no longer in use) National Guard Armory and worked the lawn. Found 50 Lincolns prior to 82 along with a 57 wheatie. Dug up $2.45 in clad including two 65 quarters and two 65 dimes. Had one of those targets that yells dig me I am silver and out came a U. S. Army Marksmanship Badge. Didn't think much about it but was a little puzzled as to why it sounded so good when I put the coil over it. Got home and turned it over and on the back it said "Sterling". Of course I also found my share of pull tabs, can slaw and other assorted and miscellaneous junk. Two junk rings, two bullets and an old key. I think I will have to pay at least one more visit to that old Armory. One would think that there has to be more silver there somewhere.
