1916 Merc and Some Other Junk

[Carolina Tom]

I went out hunting with Smittyman (of TNet fame) on Tuesday. We hit a few spots in a little redneck town, in the next county over. The pickings were slim, but a good time was had by both of us.

I found a 1916 Merc, I looked and looked for the "D" mint mark, but alas, it was not there. I also found a Jolly Time popcorn spinner token, a fake gold ring, a charm from an '85 high school graduation tassle and kid's ring. When I pulled the fake ring out of the ground, it was gold, so I looked for a makers mark, and sure enough it said "18K" inside... I almost got excited, then I noticed that it also had "HGE" inside.... Heavy Gold Electroplate... dang!

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!
