<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2933729, member: 10461&quot;]PS- does this stick to a magnet?&nbsp; The whitish color in places make me wonder if it isn&#039;t a melted and rusted 1943 <i>steel</i> cent?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never dug one of those, though I should have by now.&nbsp; I always figured they rusted so badly in the ground that my detector&#039;s discrimination settings made me ignore whatever signals they gave, if any.&nbsp; The only steelie I&#039;ve heard of anyone digging up was in a story a dig buddy of mine told about how he&#039;d once dug up a whole <i>roll</i> of cents, with the paper wrapper long since disintegrated.&nbsp; (Yes, it happens.)&nbsp; There was a &#039;43 steel inside that roll, still packed tightly against the others even after the paper had rotted away.&nbsp; Because of that, it had only rusted around the outer edges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
