it turns out I had me a 1944 silver war nickel!!! happydance02 It was so covered in dirt, I just figured it was a regular old Jeff, but when I rubbed the area to try and see the date, I saw that pretty silver glint. I was with my hunting buddy and did a happy dance right in front of him. :happydance01: I looked like a goof, but hey, who cares! lol I also found a cool broken pin made in Spain, a 1935 Wheatie, a St. Mary Catholic medal (unforutnately, it's only stainless steel). The round clasp is Sterling which means the necklace is silver. I didn't find the necklace. crying01 My buddy found a beautiful 1910 Barber right before we had to leave. Thanks for looking. Happy hunting! :groovy:

Gotta love those war nicklels, still looking for my 1st for the year. Congrats on the hunt, would seem that a return trip is warranted.
