The 1943 silver mercury dime was found in a rocky driveway at about 4-5 inches deep, and the Lunt .925 Sterling silver spoon weighs 20 gram and was found at about 6 inches. Also found a 1920 wheat cent in the same area, not pictured. Only cleaned with toothbrush, water and soap....however nicked the bowl of the spoon cutting the plug because of being so long, but it will end up as silver melt when silver gets to $50 an ounce..lol

I'd say it certainly was a "very good day". H Digging :)
 

Beautiful dime
 

That dime looks great to be dug out of gravel, nice and that spoon has got a long shank on it.way to go buddy.
 

That dime looks great, you can definately tell it was under the gravel line/or in a place it didnt shift with the traffic on the gravel
 

Congrats on the silver!
