[Squirrel322]

Nothing to amazing but I am always surprised when I still manage silver from this park!



Thanks for looking!

Do you think it has something to do with changing soil/mineral conditions? I think conditions change often...wet, dry, or whatever changes there are that we're unaware of. Some days it's "hot", some days it's not. Gary

Next to the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, I think Mercury Dimes are one of the more beautiful 20thc coins produced by the US Mint.
Nice save,

Excellent! Nothings really hunted out keep swinging away. Our average coils are 11 inches so how much can we really cover. Well done congrats

I couldn’t agree more, Walker’s and Mercury’s are the best looking US coins

You're fortunate to have such a wide variety of decorative silver coins to find in the US.
In Canada, the design of our dimes and quarters have only changed one time in 151 years, except for the Queen or King on the reverse side.

Nice save- I love the challenge of a "hunted-out" park- I virtually never get skunked- Congrats!!

Yeah, its possible. I have felt like hunting after a good rain can be productive.

I mainly only use the six inch coil at this park now and I think that helps.

Huh, I’ve never thought of it like that. I always enjoy digging Canadian but they aren’t as common here as US coins.

Nice job on the Merc Squirrel.

It's the same way up here, if you hunt parks you'll naturally find at least a couple of US coins mixed in with the Canadian stuff.
Whereas, I only detect early sites now, so we tend to get Canadian, British and US coins on these sites.

Just yesterday, I dug my first 1851 US 3-Cent coin and three early Canadian coins on a site that was gone by 1900.
I can't believe how tiny the 3-Cent coin is, it's no wonder they were only made for 3 years.

Nice! I’ve never dug a 3 cent coin! Not much activity in this area in the 1850’s, only dug my first coin from the 1850s this year.

I love those early date Mercuries. Most I find are in the forties (not that I find a lot). Congrats!

Yes, I agree - they are great looking coins - I'd also put SLQ's right up there too !
