mercury

Found this dime in some old change today. Does this look like a filled die, a pmd, or something else to anyone? Thanks!!!

Well, the last one died shortly after birth, so here we make a new baby. 40 years ago I had a great time in the Bahamas. A lot has happened since then. Probably I would not recognize the old places if I visited today. Some places might have changed less than others, like Great Isaak Key. When...

Well, I came up short on getting my first grand slam. I'd recently been hunting a back corner of one of my favorite parks and finding wheats. I returned yesterday evening and dug a nice Merc first hole. Three more wheats, a '41 nickel and a Rosie. Last keeper was a well worn Barber dime...

A couple of weeks ago I started a thread about possibly taking a detecting road trip and tried to get other TNET members involved. Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, treasure hunters being treasure hunters, not many ideas or invites were offered. That's ok though because it turned out to be...

Amanda and I have officially waged war on silver. Particularly silver coins. Sure we'll take silver jewelry and gold but this silver war is personal. The first coin in our sights is a mercury dime and if you make it far enough through this video you may see us detect our first one. The first...

Heya Everyone; I am sorry that I have not been on much, other than checking Facebook I don't spend much time on the computer during the summer. Here are 8 videos from a single outing on Lower Clear Creek in Shasta County. I don't recall the amount of time I spent sniping to recover the 7...

I'm looking to run 25 gallons of dense flour gold/fine sands on a professional shaker table or someone who can safely(to the environment) seperate flour gold with Mercury. I'm willing to pay $100/hr or 10% of total gold recovered. Located in Michigan, willing to travel.

I found myself today, out on the field. It was a mild sunny day in December, in good old Massachusetts. There I stood with my E-trac in one hand, and a nice steamy Cumberland Farms coffee in the other. As I stood there and took in the scenery I knew it was going to be a good day. Aside from...

My first time finding this: https://youtu.be/p033cGMh01Y

Found this method of melting with borax. Theres a video from Phillipines too. No toxic mercury use! johnnysau

Former mining village and father's yard Today I decided to hunt in an area where company houses from one of the Pennsylvania coal co mines use to stand. The houses were demolished in the 1940s I beleive. Today was just a test hunt and I ended up with a pocket knife and a small token or button...

Amazed at how nice some of these come out of the ground. All I did was run some water over it. I had a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 for a couple years and worked my yard pretty good. I only found a 42 Mercury dime with the 202. I now have a Fisher F4 (1 week) and what a difference. Figuring out...

ok.

Not much but it's my first!! My ol' pal hooked me up at an old church...... Not "east coast old" but early 1900's. Since Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907 ...... It's old to us. Found my first silver ever and I am stoked!

I may have to change my user name to Butter... 'cause I'm on a roll. I found two more silver dimes today, the more impressive of the two being the 1918 Mercury. Yeah, they are just dimes... but it sure makes me smile to see some silver in the hole, after endless pennies. Not that pennies are bad...

These coins were found over two weekends in June.

Most people know me as the guy who invented the Gold Well sluice. This sluice recovers very fine gold very well. The big problem as one of my customers indicated, was how to get the fine gold out once you recover it in the sluice. My preferred method is just add up the concentrates with the...

Spent a day and a half detecting and ended up with a large amount of old coins. GI
