    Quite a haul there, B! Really impressive ring totals too. I managed one this year.
    Looks like your totals of roosies exceeded the mercs. My tally was just the opposite, more mercs than roosies. I wonder why that is, could be mercs were deeper, and were missed over the years? Anyhow, good luck on your finds for 2010. ffd

    Thats a nice haul of silver for one year. Congrats to ya. I think the reason most find mercs more than rosies is because when folks found out that coins were not going to be made of silver anymore people started to hoard them out of circulation. There were more rosies at that time to hoard. Leaving more time for the mercs to be lost in the ground than rosies.
    Ya never know until ya go.
