A merc to bighten the day.

[WildDigger]

Went out to a neighboring town and hit a old house. found nothing there. The man in the house next door offered his house for detecting. We hit it and got a total of 15 Wheats. then on the way out (seems to work that way) I hit part of the old slate stone side walk. I thought it was hit by a hunting partner on the way to the back yard. He said he did not hit it all. Well Glad he didn't as I got a bouncy signal that ended up being a 45 ACP round and a Merc under it. It is either 1919 or 1918 no mint. Then Dave cam over to see it and hit a zinc signal on the other side of the Slate stone (lane thief) :laughing:. and it ended up being a 1948 5 centavos from Guatemala. Tiny coin but silver anyway. well that Merc makes silver number 4 for the year.


****had a nickle signal that was worn smooth. I forgot to check it out till just a bit ago. Well It turns out it is a SMOOTH V nickle. ****
It is so worn I am afraid to try and clean it.

It's all true, sometimes I need to hunt around you to get some of that luck. Here's a crud pic of the coin. Cold but fun out there today.

No matter we have a good time. It is all good.

I just found one recently that looked just like that, here's the result.



LOL!

Now, don't get me wrong. I have had some pretty good success with some coins. I knew this one was pretty well gone. I tried anyway and when nothing worked, I just used a brillo pad.

Enjoy your find, clean at your own risk.

Still a nice find!

HH!

The other guy that went with us swears he sees 1885. I wish.
