only one coin today - a merc

[hoosierfinds]

Had time on one hour drive home from mom's Wednesday to get out for one of my rare hunts this year. I took the XLT because I thought there would be a chance. I stopped at the first likely farm house that looked like the resident was home. The lady who had lived there 30 years said I couldn't hurt the yard so go for it.
After about two hours I came away with the 1918 merc - kind of warn. Also got a stainless steel spoon and the usual ash and trash bits of copper and aluminum from siding and downspouts.
I'm getting fired up again just when it's getting cold - bad timing.

If I could find only one coin on a hunt, that would be OK if it was a gorgeous Merc like yours!

Congrats!!!
