    A 1916 Mercury and you can't see the mintmark :bangahead01: That would kill me lol I couldn't sleep Nice finds and you are in a great time period for some key date coins. The 1916 D, 1909 S VDB, 1909 S Indian, and the 1922 plain Wheat.... One of these days you gotta hit one. Who knows, you may have that 1916D after all lol Nice hunt. That Hummingbird looks like it was from a wind chime that was produced a couple of years ago and was made of pewter. They had all shapes. I thought it was Whispering Winds, but couldn't find them anywhere. Anyways, nice hunt.

    Excellent hunt Dave!! Finding silver, a buffalo and an IH in one hunt is a successful hunt in my book!!

    As I was shooting today (photo, not coin lol ) I kept thinking... I bet Dave is out there hitting the good stuff today.

    We'll put a good hunt together yet this year.... it's only a matter of time.

    Congrats on a great hunt.
