this silver ring. Gee I wonder where I'll be tomorrow.   Detecting

War Nickel Good Find Wolfy

From mid-1942 to the end of 1945, the U.S. minted 5-cent coins out of an alloy of silver, copper, and manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Their silver content is the reason "war nickels" are worth more than other nickels of a similar age - from 1866 to 1942 and from 1946 to today, all other nickels have been made of an alloy of copper and nickel; no silver at all.

the war nickle looks to be in pretty good condition. A collector will want it I think.
