My first Merc!

[luke_00]

Today I found my first merc and my oldest coin. It is a 1918 and pretty worn. I found it right in front of my grandmas old house that was built in the 1930's. It was only about 2" in the ground and I was very surprised to find where I did. It was in the front yard with a lot of newer coins. My dad always told me there was probably silver there and I'm glad he was right. I didn't get to detect long so I'm going to go back sometime this week and hopefully I find more!

Love those Mercs. I've only found a couple in the last two years (1940 and '44), but remember the moments fondly!

Congratulations on your first Mercury Dime.
Hopefully that ground is holding a whole bunch of old silver.

Ah, those old coins had so much character. This new stuff is little more than junk. Congratulations mate.
