Last couple of hunts get me some keepers. (Updates pics)

[Snapolson]

Here are the finds from my last two hunts near my home. I also found a handful of clad but no pics of that. The cool little bottle was on the surface! I thought the Merc was a clad dime until I turned it over and saw the fasces on the back. Other than that, no interesting stories to go with them, just the usual rain, heat, and bugs! lol Hope everyone is getting out there beeping. Happy hunting! :groovy:

PS I just cleaned the Merc up with some baking soda. At first it didn't make a dent. Then I tried a little Tarnx. That turned the coin white like it was painted. I put it back in some more baking soda and it brought back the luster. Boy, it's in real nice shape. Probably dropped right after mintage.
