Perhaps I should have clarified, especially considering the context, but there's a difference between getting "rich" and making average or livable money. I was addressing the latter.
True. I do love the treasure hunt. Each coin has a story no one will hear..... We can only imagine and come up with our own interpretations. That; for me is fun. I'll keep on hunting! Thanks for the encouragement; you're cool.
Did it just "stick" to the magnet, or did it JUMP to the magnet from say half to three quarters inch away? A steel cent will JUMP. A nickel plated cent will be magnetic enough to stick but doesn't have enough pure nickel to allow it to jump to the magnet.
