The vast majority are worth nothing more than melt. If you find a 1909S VDB or a 1914D they could be worth some money depending on condition.

Pick up the Red Book 2012 64th edition coin book!! It's ten bucks, give or take a few bucks! It's a great reference guide.

Don't know much about coin collecting, but doubt most dug coins will get the premium price. The rare specimens, can get a good price, regardless of condition, if you find a buyer who doesn't have one at all. Something, is better than an empty spot in the collection, and you can still keep looking for a better example. The value for most of us, is that wheats tell us that people were losing coins at the site, in the prime silver coin period in time. Wheats mean potential silver...

You have already found a few silver coins, war nickels are 35% silver! Everyone on here counts those as silver coins.

at the rivers edge in the water and a couple of inches deep.
