mercury

Found this dime in some old change today. Does this look like a filled die, a pmd, or something else to anyone? Thanks!!!

Well, the last one died shortly after birth, so here we make a new baby. 40 years ago I had a great time in the Bahamas. A lot has happened since then. Probably I would not recognize the old places if I visited today. Some places might have changed less than others, like Great Isaak Key. When...

Well, I came up short on getting my first grand slam. I'd recently been hunting a back corner of one of my favorite parks and finding wheats. I returned yesterday evening and dug a nice Merc first hole. Three more wheats, a '41 nickel and a Rosie. Last keeper was a well worn Barber dime...

A couple of weeks ago I started a thread about possibly taking a detecting road trip and tried to get other TNET members involved. Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, treasure hunters being treasure hunters, not many ideas or invites were offered. That's ok though because it turned out to be...

Amanda and I have officially waged war on silver. Particularly silver coins. Sure we'll take silver jewelry and gold but this silver war is personal. The first coin in our sights is a mercury dime and if you make it far enough through this video you may see us detect our first one. The first...

Heya Everyone; I am sorry that I have not been on much, other than checking Facebook I don't spend much time on the computer during the summer. Here are 8 videos from a single outing on Lower Clear Creek in Shasta County. I don't recall the amount of time I spent sniping to recover the 7...

I'm looking to run 25 gallons of dense flour gold/fine sands on a professional shaker table or someone who can safely(to the environment) seperate flour gold with Mercury. I'm willing to pay $100/hr or 10% of total gold recovered. Located in Michigan, willing to travel.

I found myself today, out on the field. It was a mild sunny day in December, in good old Massachusetts. There I stood with my E-trac in one hand, and a nice steamy Cumberland Farms coffee in the other. As I stood there and took in the scenery I knew it was going to be a good day. Aside from...

My first time finding this: https://youtu.be/p033cGMh01Y

Found this method of melting with borax. Theres a video from Phillipines too. No toxic mercury use! johnnysau

Former mining village and father's yard Today I decided to hunt in an area where company houses from one of the Pennsylvania coal co mines use to stand. The houses were demolished in the 1940s I beleive. Today was just a test hunt and I ended up with a pocket knife and a small token or button...

Amazed at how nice some of these come out of the ground. All I did was run some water over it. I had a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 for a couple years and worked my yard pretty good. I only found a 42 Mercury dime with the 202. I now have a Fisher F4 (1 week) and what a difference. Figuring out...

ok.

Not much but it's my first!! My ol' pal hooked me up at an old church...... Not "east coast old" but early 1900's. Since Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907 ...... It's old to us. Found my first silver ever and I am stoked!

I may have to change my user name to Butter... 'cause I'm on a roll. I found two more silver dimes today, the more impressive of the two being the 1918 Mercury. Yeah, they are just dimes... but it sure makes me smile to see some silver in the hole, after endless pennies. Not that pennies are bad...

These coins were found over two weekends in June.

Most people know me as the guy who invented the Gold Well sluice. This sluice recovers very fine gold very well. The big problem as one of my customers indicated, was how to get the fine gold out once you recover it in the sluice. My preferred method is just add up the concentrates with the...

Spent a day and a half detecting and ended up with a large amount of old coins. GI

Same yard, more silver and Wheat cents. Went back today got another Mercury dime, this one from 1924. Silver Washington:1959-D (beautiful condition) Another, but larger aluminum play coin from "Grimsland" and 5 Wheat cents the oldest being 1910 and 1919. As is often the case when metal...

This is from a hunt I did several weeks back not today hope you enjoy. Had a great day out today, was out about 4 hours maybe a little less. I've only been out 2 times this year the first I found a real ugly rosie. Today I found another first for me BIG SILVER, A Walker, very nice. I found 15...

With the recent rain, cold, wind, snow, and just about everything else on the list for Oklahoma weather, the stars aligned and I was able to get out and hunt. I gained permission at two homes that haven't been accessible in a long time. I grabbed the CTX, put on the Pivotheads(review coming) and...

I bought a bag of dimes to go through today. The manager was nice enough to pull it off of the machine early for me today before it was full ($857). In going through it I found three silver dimes. Two were Roosies (1960 + 1964), and the other was a Merc with the date so worn that it is difficult...

I have been getting barely anything from halves boxes since the beginning of the year (one or two here and there) so I decided to just go on an all out dime hunt yesterday. I stopped at five different banks and picked up a total of six dime boxes. I also picked up a box of nickels for fun. (I...

First of all, how would you react when you see something like this?: I went to one of the many banks in my home area the other day requesting a box of dimes. This was the first time I had requested so much coin from them, and they told me they would call me the following week to let me know...

Here is a small assortment of finds I've picked out of some very trashy & hunted out sites over the past week or so. There are a couple of Civil War bullets, (some 69 cal. round balls, some 54 cal. round balls, and 1 44 Cal. Sage pistol bullet. The balls came from a "hunted out area". The 44...

I spent a little time detecting with a buddy and family last weekend. We hit a yard we'd been to before. The last time there I found a 1934 World's Fair ring and he found a 1911 wheat. Since then I purchased and practiced with a new detector. When we showed up I had to spend some time...
