All in all a very good hunt Joe , a nice Merc , silver Medallion and a handfull of wheat .
It was fun, lots of targets to dig. Plus a few silver ones too.

Joe, that silver is there, you just have to put your coil over it.
That's what I kept thinking. Between the two of us we pulled up 25 wheat cents. Should be a few more shiny ones there. :dontknow:

Do you use a scanner or camera to take your pictures?
I use a camera and a simple bounce flash off the ceiling/wall for my shots. Works good enough but I'm thinking about getting a macro lens just for my coin pictures. lol

Gotta love those Merc Saving Hunts! Better than a SDHOS any day! lol
Absolutely! :yes: I'm sure this is one of many 'Merc Saving Hunts' this year. lol
I'll take a MSH instead of the SDHOS any day. :yes: lol

You can't complain about soft ground in Iowa during February... especially the first week. <:

Great hunt! Gotta keep hitting that construction site every chance you get as they move dirt around!
Agreed. :yes: Although I think plenty of keepers have been scooped out and hauled away from here. crying01 There is
plenty of untouched or lightly skimmed area to hunt but I know plenty of coins went out with some of the dirt. >:/
Some of the yards have been excavated down 10-12 inches. crying01
