    The last things a first thing

    I went back to the old fairgrounds today hoping that i could get more good stuff.
    I spent about three hours there and found a small handful of clad a brass fitting a large copper grommet a car wash/no cash value token and a tie clip from the third national bank of Nashville.
    After all that i decided to swing a straight line back to my truck on the other side of the field. Just my side of the fence from my truck maybe 6 feet i got a nice penny/dime signal at 5 and a half inches. But it was only good in one direction so it had me confused.
    But i decided to dig it anyway. And at the bottom of the hole is my first mercury dime!

    I'm loveing the old fairgrounds and i'm loving the V3i!!!!

    Great score on the merc RaZr thumbsup01 I always keep all the copper I find, if it's too big to carry in my pocket then I'll make a trip back to my truck with it.

    Nice hit on the Merc!
    I love finding those. They are definitely a great looking coin.
    Sounds like you and the V are getting along very nicely.
    Congrats RaZR on checking another one off your list!
