Hello Guys!
I hadn't detected because it had been so dry for almost a month , then sciatica back pain problems kept me from detecting but I've been able to do a few short hunts the last couple of weeks.
I found my 2nd half dollar(for this year) a little over a week ago (1945) and 2 injuns,1906,1907 ,wheaties in 1 yard the next day I got a another merc,1945,an old token and a few Wheaties,then yesterday I hunted another yard and pick up a merc and a rosie, few wheaties, today I hunted a house with a big yard but just a few Wheaties,I got permission across the street (small yard) that had a trench dug and covered back up but right next to it I got a 46 conductive but was only about an inch deep. I thought it might be a coin that had been deeper before they dug the trench so I dug about an inch deep and out popped a gold colored coin! I could see lady merc (1945) on it.
Its good to be able to hunt a gain. Thanks for looking! HH

Del, Here is a photo of the back of the merc. I would say it had been made into some kinda
jewelry and then got broken off.42906
