Just out of curiosity...when was she born? Every time I find anything 1937 (usually wheat), I think of my dad.

I don't think this one will be moved Bryce. This is a trully awesome story that inspires hope. Oh and if by chance this does get moved may the responsible party suddenly get a gaggle of toads to infest their underpants for weeks on end. There...that should do it.

This is my BEST and most memorable find of 2008...and of my lifetime.

I just want to let everyone know how much I appreciate your responses. They mean more than you can imagine...and I don't forget things like this. I am on my way out to go to church right now...but I plan on replying to each and every person who responded to this post as soon as the days slows down some. Thanks again...it's nice to know I have so many "good people" on this forum who I consider my friends.

Bryce,
A very nice & meaningful post buddy. I'm glad you finally got the nerve to post it.
That would be a #1 find in my book too.
My Dad was killed in Aug 07, and I still get signs that show me he is still with me. It's a wonderful feeling.
I'm sure you really miss your Mom, and I hope these signs from time to time will bring you some great joy.

Very cool story silverfreak.My condolences on your Mom.I lost my Mom some years ago and had a similar thing happen to me.It's a long story but I found three state militia buttons on mothers day soon after and also found a spanish 1/2 reale at the same site a couple of days later after thinking to myself " ok Mom show me the silver" found the reale first hole I dug that day and it was the only silver I've ever dug there after searching it for years.Take care and best of luck.

Thanks kieser. Thanks for sharing your story with me as well. It's funny how things work sometimes.

[GOLDandSilver]

That's a wonderful story, thanks for posting it. It's also good to see I am not the only one.

Ever since my beloved papa passed away he's been leaving me "pennies from heaven"...if I am having the worst day ever it is inevitable that I will think of him and what he'd say to me...and I find a penny, even if I've just stepped in that spot moments before. AND, when I am struggling with a difficult decision I'll find a penny..and if it's heads up, it's a good idea, tails up, I pass on it He was a very precious person to me and it gives me great comfort each and every time I am having a bad day, without fail I find a penny from heaven!

 

[JUNKYARD DOG]

Hello my friend, I lost my Mom last March and I know she is looking down on me everyday, they will never stop showing us how much they love us. Find peace in your heart. I wish you and yours the very best. Wes

 

[silverfreak]

Of all your finds, Bryce, this one has to be my favorite. Thanks for posting this wonderful chapter of your life.

DM

Thanks so much DM. Out of all my finds...I feel the exact same way as you my friend. Nothing else even comes close to this dime. Take care DM

Thanks buddy. I appreciate the response

Please keep the story here Moderators:

Bryce,
Thanks for sharing the story and we can find things that are great,but nothing can out do the memories
in life.its not always what you get,(in your case it is).its the memories that make it all worth while.
Stay tough buddy,were all here if you need anything.

LabradorBob

Thanks for the kind words Bob. I truly feel you are all here for me...and you have no idea how much it means to me. Take care

I agree - she's with you on every hunt!

Thanks Neil. She definately is

Nice find!
And as she shown down upon you she told you there was a silver lining..

Sorry to hear your mom has passed, but she will always be with you whether you find silver or not..

J2

Thanks for the response DDM. I truly appreciate it. I agree 100%......silver or no silver...she's always going to be there

Cool Bryce...
My mom died 8 weeks after we learned she had cancer. just one week shy of her birthday. Back in '07. One week later on her birthday my second grandon was born. Really miss her and not a day goes by when I don't think about her. Where would we be without our mothers boys?

Thanks Corben. Sorry for your loss too. Without the guidance and love from my mom.....I cringe to think how I would have turned out.

 

[silverfreak]

A truly moving story, Bryce!!

Thanks for sharing it with us! That's a coin I would keep by my side always!

Take care, buddy!

HH,

Dan

Thanks Dan. Yep...it will always be with me. I have it sitting on my desk as I'm typing. Take care buddy..and show me some more of that "warm weeather" silver my friend.

What can I say my man. You rocked the house on that find. Literally you made my heart pound with that great story. You will no doubt cherish that find forever. I would...Like I have said before, you will have your Mom with you on every single hunt. No doubt have her with you every single step of your days to come. I wish you nothing but the best my friend and I hope that when you pull that coin out and look at it, it will remind you of all the great times that you had with your Mom.

Keep that post right here where it belongs! jgas

Thanks my friend. I truly appreciate your kind thoughts. My mom was always interested in my finds...and I know she would have appreciated how kind everyone is here.

Bryce, Amazing story and I'm sure that will alway's be your favorite find...

Thanks for responding T.

Thanks for telling your story. Very cool find. Feel like God directed you to that dime then sent you some light from your mom. Blessings to you.

Thanks baylorhall. I think you're right...because I have not ever found a sliver coin there before. I was expecting nothinhg...just wanted to swing the coil and hide the pain for a while.

You should have a jeweler mount that merc in a pendant and you could wear it around your neck. Of course, you've got your mom on your shoulder, so you don't really need the coin she left for you and guided you to find hanging around your neck, but it would be pretty cool to have with you at all times.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Jim

Thanks so much Jim. Actually...I think I will do just that. I am going to check into having a nice 14k bezel made for it with a big loop on it so I can wear it on my gold chain. Take care buddy.

I'm sure you won't, Buddy. God bless you and your Mother. I know she's watching over you. Hopefully 09 will be a little better for you

Thanks CJH. I hope so too. I know she is with me in spirit...and like you said...she is watching over me.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for viewing T-Mac

Thanks Mike. I think you're right. Take care

That Merc dime and your mother story sure put a lump in my throat Bryce.
When I lost my dad, I had a simular experience of a warm
feeling of pease and just knew that he was watching out for me too.
Thanks for sharing with us and best of luck hunting in 2009.
Gold Nuggets
