A small pile of Wheaties and a single lonely 1918 Merc

Been a while since the last silver find for me, at least a month or so. it has rained a lot and my site has been quite a mess. Of all things, my wife told me that she wanted to go detecting. it had rained for several days and I figured that it would be a mess but she wanted to see how the new program for her LF coil would do. So off we went and to my surprise, in some thick but knocked over grass, I managed to get what I thought would be a penny tone. Nope, 1918 Merc, what a beautiful sight! then the wheaties came slowly with some clad thrown in. The wife loved her new program and found her 1st 2 wheaties ever with the Deus. Most of the wheaties were in the teens or early twenties and just missed by a year of two nickles being buffs. This site has been really awesome for us/me. Ya, back in the silver! DL

Well done DL! Any time some silver shows, it's a good time.

Congrats sir.

when I am finding the early wheaties, they tend to get my hopes up for either silver or an IH. I had one coin that really had me wondering until I got home and cleaned it up, was really hoping it was a IH but no. I have just been amazed at how many mercs I have found here and only two or three Rosies. No complaints mind you, no, Mercs are wonderful. I am hoping that this site will give up a silver dollar or another barber but I would be thrilled with another seated. Heck, any and all silver is welcome!
