First Horses and now Rock Doves and Wildcats!

Went back hunting the same park again today. Got some more clad, mostly pennies and then got a 83-85 signal on the AT-Pro. Dug a plug and out pops a 1967 Rock Dove memorial penny. But that's not all that was in the hole!

The Loot! Two parts of an old lighter, key, Children's Hospital Key fob and clad.

Plus this!

1967 Memorial Wildcat silver quarter. Not sure yet if it's .800 or .500, as partway through the year they reduced the silver content. Btw this is a first one for me, I'm happy!

Washed with water and soap. From the tarnish I'm thinking it's gonna be .800

PS I dug 3 more Rock Dove pennies after that. Whats the odds?

Nice finds !

I thought they switched the silver content in '68 ??
I would say that yours is 80% for sure ..

Congratulations. I love that wildcat quarter. Nice looking coin, and you can't argue with silver.

Cool find! I have found many dove pennies, but never the Wildcat quarter.
