Bryce, it's fun to see a great user of this forum score BIG-TIME!! Hope you get the max. from it, $$-wise.

I just have time before the hockey game to look this beauty up in the Red Book to see how many they made. My guess'd be 'not a whole lot'.

Congrats on making banner and an outstanding find. You deserve it.
Randy

Thanks RPG

if i was only a ninja...................

What a outstanding find. Love to read your post,gets me really hyped up to go dig some holes(and fill ).


Kevin

Thanks Kevin...I hope you find some deepies

Wow what a great lot of finds, well done!

Thanks Harry

AWESOME JOB BRO!!!! I am doin a happy dance over here with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks brother. I couldn't pull any type of dance off. Heck I nearly threw up

Nice Find WTG

Thanks Bob

Are you down from the clouds yet?

Congrats on that magnificent find...

Congrats on the Banner... All 1916d Merc's deserve the Banner...

Thanks Bob. I have not come down yet .

 

[silverfreak]

Really nice silver. You, and the rest of us, will look for more, because they're out there... right around the corner.

TimC

Thanks Tim. Yes they are...and that's what makes this hobby what it is.

Great story and fantastic find. Congrats.

Bob

Thanks Bob

Wow Bryce,digging the most valuable Merc on the planet and getting the chance to swing with Nick all at the same time...doesn't get any better'n that bro. Congratulations on a well deserved banner find!!
Jerry

Thanks O.J....the "sammies" didn't hurt matters none either

Bryce,
Oh my Gawd!!! Nice freaking find. You earned it brother!!! You have inspired me to not give up on learning this Explorer. I wish I could hear that warble you are talking about. I definitely need to start digging more deep signals and discovering what this thing is telling me sometime.

Enough about me though..........Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Baldingboy

Thanks B.B......sometimes you'll wish you didn't know what it was saying to ya' in fact...sometimes you would much rather wrap it around a tree instead of listen to it
Seriously though...don't give up on it. Just take a few chances on some iffy targets. If they all turn out to be crap...and some days are like that ...just keep on diggin and learnin'. You will be rewarded in the end with some nice finds.

Congrats on the Banner, my friend! I voted for you all the way.

Kirk

Thanks buddy. I appreciate it. Man it's been a while since I've gotten to say this...but here goes..."Now go dig me some a' them sweet coppas"

Bryce, Congrats on the awesome finds buddy! I think i've dug 5 1916 mercs, but never the "D".
Sounds like you guys had a great time. Its always a blast with good friends. 8)

Thanks JRS. I would have still had just as much fun without digging the sweet dime. It was just the icing on the cake.

That was one great story and I almost felt like I was there with you. Thanks for the hunt! Very good finds too! I have been on a few good outings like that with my hunting buds but never scored so good. Great hunt! Monty

Thanks Monty. I appreciate what you said. The friends are what made it so special.

Awesome find! Congrats on Banner! If I had found it, it would have just gone in with all the others- I need to learn a bit about key dates...

Thanks chaz

Beautiful dime and story. Congratulations.

Thanks sonny Cancun

Throw in a dozen of those famous cookies and it's a deal, Nicky! And I'll personally bring those holey cammo's to the fall hunt you're speaking of. Who's hosting the fall hunt this year anyhow?

 

[halfdime]

Wow! Nothing changes on TNet! I hardly have time to visit during baseball season, so I haven't been on in a few days, but it's good to see Bryce pulling a sweeeeeeet silver. And my buddy Nick, there to witness it. Sounds like good times in St. Loooo.

Bryce,

Congrats on a find of a lifetime! That's what makes detecting so fun. You never know what you're going to find, or where you're going to find it, or when you're going to hit it big - (it's kind of like gambling except there's no down side)!!

WTG my friend. I always look forward to your posts and your finds. Thanks for all your help and advice, too.

HH!

[Dimeman]

I would have had a heart attack for sure!!!!!!!! I have found a few 16-P's and 2 16-S's but never a 16 D.
You got a good one !!!!!!!! CONGRATS for a GREAT find!!!!!

Google ANACS ...you can send your coin in to get it graded and slabbed. You send it insured, with an appoximate value.

Some coin dealers can send it for you but it costs more for them to send it than doing it yourself.
