    1917D Merc in beautiful condition and a couple of Buffalos

    Haven't posted in a while because of my work but I went hunting today for a couple of hours to an old favorite spot and besides the trash and clad I pulled these 2 buffalos out of the same hole maybe 7inches. Ones a no date the other is a 1920. A few minutes later I got a iffy dime signal at 9inches and pulled this slanted 1917 D out in excellent conditions (woo hoo key date!). Also found a couple of old buttons. Not a bad day at all.
    Thanks for reading

    The 17'D is the first silver I ever dug. Seeing that coin brings back some memories. Great shape too!

    I've never managed to clean one up very good. They all seem to come out of the ground that way and stay that way.
