Most of all, I'm just glad that you were able to get out for a hunt, Angie! And what a nice bonus that you were able to find a gorgeous Merc in that short time! thumbsup01
I know that sometimes life is hectic and our hobbies have to take a back seat for a while. Here's hoping that 2012 is more relaxing for you and that you get to have a banner year of detecting!
Thank you Tony

I am hoping the same thing. I wish a great 2012 detecting year for you as well! I thought of you when I drove past your home town, by the way

Hey..... you took one of my silvers. :beatdown: lol
Just kidding.

The Merc looks to be a very nice one. Too bad a 1916D couldn't be found in that kind of shape. :smitten:
Sounds like you had a nice time back here in Iowa with your family. Plus you got a bonus hunt in. <:
Congrats Angie.
I'm surprised you left any silver there for me to find at all lol rofl
I was thinking the same thing about the 1916d. That would have been worth some serious money :yes:

Thank you Sheik :yes: It was definitely a nice end to the year. Let's hope the weather holds out... but I think the ground is already freezing
