Yeah, I'm talking about those silver coins! lol They've been hiding from me. The past few hunts I've gone on only produced some wheat pennies. I netted about eight in the past three hunts. The 1937 one shown in the photo was laying on the ground in the dirt. It may have been a recent drop cause it was in such great shape! The rest were in the 1920's and 30's.

So while on a quick hunt today I finally found a silver Mercury dime. I wasn't even expecting it. It rang up in the penny range! It's also pretty oxidized so I don't know what the date is yet. I did find another Merc (1917-S) from last week but don't have a photo handy to upload.

Oh, I also found a buffalo nickel the other day too, which is pictured. Love those buffs! Happy hunting everyone!! :groovy:

Wow, not that I have found a lot of silver coins but I didn't know that could happen to silver. And it's a bit more enjoyable when you're not expecting it.

Nice hunt.

Yep... always when you least expect it. :yes:
Great bunch of keepers. :clapping: A little bit of everything. It's amazing how much sulfide build up is on the Merc.
Congrats.
