    My Best Day 5 Merc's Plus More..

    Today was pretty windy and chilly here in Connecticut. Went back to the site that I've been hitting Wheaties and found one Merc last weekend. Well today the Silver Gods were smiling upon me and found five, two in one hole, a first and the Buffalo, my second in the same hole as another Merc and the Religious pendant. By far my best day with the Silver in one hunt. I floated all the way home. I will sleep well tonight!

    WTG Bruce! Man that is an awesome day! I bet if that 1916 had a D on the back you would have done more than floated home! What does that make for your silver count this year?

    Yea too bad it wasn't a D minted 1916. Then I'd be shocked.. I'm trying for 30 Silver coins this year, triple from last years total..

    No D mint mark, I checked very closely and it's a very worn rim.. A 1916 D would have been quite a find..
