The Elusive Merc FINALLY Found Me!!

[Chizzy]

Saturday mornings are always a time to tend to my Mom's needs.......chores, recycling, errands, etc., acquiring materials for the coming week's work schedule and doing small repair jobs for customers. My last stop took me to the other end of town, so I spent an hour at a housing development that was nearby. It was once a housing facility for soldiers during WW2. Afterwards, I returned to re-grid the 1st of the 2 double house yards I've been searching in the opposite direction...........and was not disappointed. The combined finds.............



All the clad and cars (except the mini) came from the first site.



The Indian was keeping guard over the site holding the keepers which included a Marksman's medal, silver earrings, 6 wheats...........



...........and that 1st Mercury (1937) dime!! That one was among the (reset) goals I had for this year!!

Thanks for lookin' in and good luck on all your hunts!!

my first was at a men's boarding house/hotel, in the trees surrounding the site.
What a thrill, huh?

Congratulations, nice finds. I found my first merc in my grandfather's yard right beside a Roosevelt silver dime. It was an awesome feeling. Got me hooked. They were my first silvers.

Congrats on your first Merc! It doesn't matter whether it's your first or your 300th, any silver coin that pops out of the ground always brings a smile.
