Feeding day, so I had to pay the pet store a visit. I received a '64 Roosevelt, and a '58 cent back in change. First finds of the year for me.

Hello, my name is Michael, and I'm a realcentaholic
My first pocket change silver find was in Nov 2008 at the market bottom for silver. I was in Maryland, just outside of DC. I bought a can of Monster and paid with a $5. When the clerk grabbed for my change my heart jumped because I can hear musical pitches very well and knew he had silver in his hand. I got one 1940 quarter. I forgot what happened the rest of the day.
I remember going on eBay for silver after that little rush, but never got the same thing... now I roll hunt halves. But the dragon still eludes me. I'm just taking it one day at a time now. My collection of Monster cans grows. And I don't even drink them.  |

Since we don't have a thread for "dug" silver, I must post here. One Roo and one Merc, 7 wheaties including 1914 liberated from a dirt nap today with my trusty Tesoro MD in a yard no bigger than a pick up truck bed.

Nice finds. This thread is as good as any for posting your finds. I'd say to start a new thread, but I'm not sure how many others "dig"....

| Got a 1912P wheat penny as change this morning, its pretty worn, the wheat stalks are gone and "One Cent" on the back is almost worn down to nothing, but the date is readable without a loupe, I just wish there was a "S" under the date. All i'm missing for a complete wheat set (besides the 5 key dates) are a 1911S and 1912S |

Made a deposit at my main bank on Friday and the Teller (who knows I'm a "Collector") tossed a '63 Dime at me and asked if I wanted it.
Got to remember to bring her chocolate the next time I go back! |

This must be my year. As I said in an earlier thread, I am 40 and have never found silver in my pocket change. Then I got a qtr back at the car wash. A couple of weeks ago a got a dime back from a zinc dump.
Last night my wife had some dimes rolled up to go to the bank. I felt that I needed to open the roll and I felt that I needed to open it. I did so, and saw a silver edge. It turned out to be a 1962. I got new batteries for the metal detector Saturday. I gotta get out while my luck is good. |

| Last year I got a 1964 dime back in change at Office Max and back in April of 2001, while walking in my neighborhood I spotted a coin along the curb and it was a Merc! Other than that, those are my only silver finds in change. |
I enjoy taking long walks off short piers. |

I found a '42D Merc on the sidewalk back in fall of 2000.
However I haven't found any silver in normal change since the mid 1990s.

| An old man I sometimes eat lunch with told me that he was in a store and a cashier cracked a solid roll of 1964 quarters into her tray. He tried to buy them but she refused, saying she "needed the change". He only got one! I would have kept buying small items until I had them all, haha. |

| Last night, got a 1942 war nickel back in change at Taco Bell. |
