Nicest Merc I have dug this year

[Goes4ever]

Met up with Kyle (Nooberz) for a nice sunday hunt. We hit a couple old houses, yards were real small. I got a 1918 buffalo, 4 wheats, 1917 merc dime which is the nicest shape merc I have dug all year. Most the early ones I find are a lot more worn. Got a token that just says 78 AM CO. no idea on that one. But is was a nice sunny day to spend digging.

I forgot to mention in my post above this dime was 1" deep, right on TOP of an old tree root. I am thinking the root pushed it close to the surface. But I dig ALL dime and quarter signals regardless of depth, could be an item made of silver like a ring, medallion etc.....or it could be a mint 1917 merc...lol

Nice dime and did you look close at the date on the Buffalo Nickel?
They made a 1918-D over 17 that year.

SWEET! That is a great mercury. It must have been lost on its way home from the bank. Way to go. Hope you can sneak a few more hunts in before our Midwest winter clobbers us.
