how many pencils have been in cirulation?

[ky keith]

because i think i dug 90% of them today . hunted my old high school, if everyone of them little tin eraser holders on a pencil were nickels, like my f2 said, i'd be rich . but i did find a old watch face, a golf ball and two wheaties, a 1917 and a 1950. as well as some clad

Not a bad day... and once you clear those eraser holders, well, it will be only treasure left... RickO

Ha ha, good question, maybe zillions?

WTG on the wheats! Gotta be some silver there.

What did that golf ball ring up as on the F2? I have the same problem with the eraser ends ... but if it sez nickle, youz gotta dig em!

[BrianVickers83]

at least you got some wheaties. congrats

[gdrumm]

Look at it this way, you found a bunch of lead. Melt it into bars and you could sell it.

Yep keith I have a whole collection of eraser tops it a bucket on the back porch along with zippers and buttons. On the MXT the eraser tops come in at 18 vdi and nickles come in at 20 vdi but I have dug nickles at 16 so you just have to dig them all. Ice
