The ONLY 1971 Eisenhower dollar to have any silver (just 40%) is the "S" mint-marked Proof or Uncirculated coins that were sold from the US Mint. No other 1971 dated coins contain any silver.

Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?

No, clad is used in the coin collecting community talking about the Copper and Nickel "sandwich" current, non-silver, coins have. So a clad quarter by definition would not have any silver because a clad quarter is a quarter with no silver. However, quarters were made of silver before 1965 so any quarter dated 1964 and earlier contains 90% silver, but those coins would not be considered "clad".
