[Full Metal Digger]

You mean he hasn't been counting war nickels?? I always count them since they can be melted down for silver! Okay Angel, how many war nickels have you found this year?

[angellionel]

I did find 18 this year, which would bring the total of silver coins found to 1,010. :yes:

[del]

this years Grinch shall be played by Del the moderator

no way Dave :bop: real detectorist don't count nickles as silver not since 5cent coins were half dimes :eyebrow: you should know this. 8/ Angel has 8 more to go and he'll get that even if he has to rent a jackhammer to recover them or i have to buy them at a coinshop myself and throw them out into the snow for him to find. lol lol

[Epi-hunter]

Let's look at the numbers, shall we? lol

A war nickel weighs 5.0 grams and is 35% silver (1.75 grams silver). A mercury dime weighs 2.5 grams and is 90% silver (2.25 grams silver).

I think if you are going to start leaving silver coins out based on percentages, then you need to do it across the board.

A silver Washington quarter weighs 6.25 grams and is 90% silver (5.6 grams silver). Quite a bit less than the dimes you are counting as the same. So by that argument, Angel, you need to not count the dimes if you are not going to count the war nickels. ;)

So, a silver coin is a silver coin. You counted mercs the same as Washington quarters the same as the many half dollars you have found which have lots more silver. Can't see how you can justify drawing the line at silver nickels. :)

That said, I know you will be out with a blowtorch digging on the 31st of December through the ice if you have to lol

[coinnut]

BOO, War nickels don't count lol Don't get me started on the foreign coins either rofl I just know how much Angel loves the cold, so I vote NO on the war nickels :cheesysmile: Besides, we love inflicting pain and suffering whenever possible. :poke: I vote off with his head for the guy that started this poll :bop: rofl

I had a soft moment, feeling sorry for Angel out there on the last day of December doing this :frozen: lol Because I had a premonition that I would be hearing about my 1200 prediction during that time and I would not have a defense :cheesysmile:

[ProPointer]

Yay :cheering:


-PP

[ProPointer]

I also see that Angel has found more silver coinage than I have modern coin THIS YEAR. :shocked01:


Thats unbelievable.


-PP

[Full Metal Digger]

Good job with the real numbers Epi! Since 2 war nickels contains 3.5 grams of silver (quite a bit more than one puny merc), then perhaps 2 war nickels = 1 silver?? :thinkingabout:

[BHNugget]

I vote go for it Angel!! Eight more silvers in eleven days is a cake walk for you! lol thumbsup01

[Fire Fighter 43]

thumbsup01 YAH!!

[milco]

thumbsup01 YAY!!! Does it really matter as he has 800-900 more silvers than most of us found this year!

[dave in iowa]

I always count my war nickles , i vote yes and he has to come to each of our areas and show us how he does it lol :beerbuddy: :) thumbsup01

[randy]

I say they count. :yes: Silver is silver.

If they don't count, does that mean I can't count my silver 3 cent piece, which only has 0.675 grams of silver? :confused: I think we'd agree that silver 3 cent pieces count, so why not a coin with more than twice the silver?

[CyberSage]

I would like to know how many Wheats you found Angel? This has to be an impressive number as well!

[angellionel]

Thank you everyone! :beerbuddy: Either way it's been fun! :smitten:



I would like to know how many Wheats you found Angel? This has to be an impressive number as well!


I think I am close to 1,800. :confused: I will be counting them next week. :)

lol Del made a 50% and up silver rule rofl All coins that have at least 50 % silver, count. Everyone realizes we are just bustin' Angel right?? :yes:

[SeabeeRon]

thumbsup01 :cheering: :clapping: I for one am looking forward to that Year End post to see all those goodies!!! :twirlingeyes: :drool: :loveit:

...and Dave, do you know what you are saying??!!?


he has to come to each of our areas and show us how he does it lol :beerbuddy: :) thumbsup01

... no silver across the country would be safe!!!!! :rolleyes: :teasing:

[jkress]

thumbsup01

However...I'll bet he hits 1k without nickels too.

Just incredible either way.

[RobW]

As if my 2 cents are worth anything......
I personally would count the silver war nickels...after all, it's in the title and does have silver
However, I believe it ultimatly is up to Angel as to whether he would want to count them, and how much of a purest he is.

Would you guys count a 1965-70 half dollar as silver:huh::huh: I sure would.

Haven't been on the board lately....but I do hope all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas Season!!!!!

[zrickkid]

Silver is silver. I dont feel like knocking 4 coins off my silver count because they were nickels. Anyway he will make the 1000 coins count anyway and the point will be moot.

[Ill Digger]

Hey everyone !! just got my new computer up..... :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
I haven't been counting my war nickels either.
But I did count one Canadian silver dime. :dontknow:
So I guess it a Nah on my part too...... :popcorn:
