    1843 Seated Dime + Mercury Dimes

    This afternoon I had an opportunity to detect for a few hours, so I headed to the same site that yielded the Barber coins this past Saturday. This time I decided to employ a grid, and it paid off as I picked up another four silver coins, a 1843 Seated dime and three mercs, dated 1918, 1923, and 1943.



    Here is the 1918 mercury dime peeking through the hardened soil.



    A few more wheat cents to add to the pile.



    I sure hope the weather holds up for the weekend.

    HH!
