The merc got me a little excited. My eyes aren't what they used to be. It's a 1916 and until I got my magnifying glass out I just knew it was a d. It's an s. Been to this spot twice and found 4 silvers and an indian but not one wheaty in over 80 coins. [ATTACH]1272599[/ATTACH]

Very good finds! It's a little cool here in central Minnesota. It got to a minus 19 Saturday morning, but, no skeeters around and those pesky flies don't bother me or my food when I eat.
I detect our local college campus whenever anything is torn up (sidewalks, parking lots, etc) or torn down. Once an asphalt walk was removed and I detected the area. I kept getting a good signal over bits and pieces of the removed sidewalk. I kept stirring the pieces with my fingers (no pin pointer then) and saw nothing. Then I separated little piles of the asphalt and went over them with my detector. I finally found a 1" asphalt nugget that sounded off. I then gently broke it apart by stepping on it. Out popped a 1916 an XF Merc dime. I slowly turned it around.........no mint mark, but it is one of the best conditioned Mercury dimes I've ever found.

I finally got out and to honor President Day and I found some detectable ground. Wahoo, 4 Roosevelt clad dimes to break the Cabin Fever. It doesn't take much to make me happy after long winter months. Hopefully a good 2016 detecting.

Man its getting closer her in the valley. Yesterday was beautiful. Probably going to Plains today. 90 some miles one way, still cheaper than therapy. Lol
