Thought I’d post my clad so far this month. Found one Wheat 1955-D not double struck. Right at forty bucks. Used to get this in three days hunting. Boy I wish I was back in the days of silver with my Deus2.

Good bit of digging.
We'll never see the silver haydays of the 70's.
More than I cared to dig. If only I knew.
Except maybe at a Garrett treasure event dig.

No, that's true, but everything is relative. Detectors when I started out in the early 70's were operational wise mere images of what was becoming available in the 80's and 90's....and of course, onward.

No doubt, though, silver coins are becoming fewer and fewer. And, clad, too. Neither are being replenished like they once were, or at all. If one is on a old site looking for silver, one must dig the clad to get down to any silver that might be left. Clad is a great masker.

If one likes a challenge today, few endeavors are more so than metal detecting for silver coins. What a great hobby! HH jim tn

There are still properties that either have not been detected or dine so long ago that silver coins were probably missed. Im working a 1910 farm house that the current owner bought in 1982. So far just clad a ‘40 wheat but its 1.49 acres and we’ve been in the high 90s and low 100s. It’s there, I’ll find it…….
