It was another mild day here in Wisconsin so I thought I would get out and do some detecting. I found my first silver of 2012 a 45-S Merc. I also found another Merc 35 and my first barber dime for the year 1899 for a total of three silvers for the day. My other finds were 5 wheats, $.36 in clad and nice navy type cuff button. The button is .59 inches in diameter and has RL MFG CO Newark NJ on the back. If anyone knows anything about it let me know. thanks for looking.

Very nice hunt indeed, Jeff! Gotta love finding three silvers including a Barber! And it's one from the 1800s too which is a nice bonus!

Congrats on a great hunt and your first silvers of the year! :clapping:
