Unexpected Spanish!

[MikeRo]

Haven?t been out much the last few weeks. Been to hot & dry too dig in peoples yards! Finally got some rain & cooler temps a couple days ago. Went out to a new spot yesterday for a couple hours. The yard wasn?t mowed & was borderline detectable! I jumped around the lower spots, very trashy & lots of iron. Pulled a crusty token, then a 1919 wheatie...... started to get a little excited.....then dug a really nice 1918 merc at about 6? is the unmoved grass. Not much after that, so I decided to head back to the Jeep & try again after it was mowed. Swinging rather quick on the short walk to Jeep I heard a faint, soft high tone. Thought to myself most likely another merc. I was totally surprised when I saw it was a 17761/2 real!!! My second oldest silver so far & silvers # 46 & 47 for the year!



Thanks For Lookin

Congrats on the Spanish. Great date on that one. Can't speak to the counterstamp though
