I found my first silver. Dug that is. And in Florida. I have been here for about 3 years and would say about the last year have really gotten back into the MDing. I have found everything pointing to sliver. Wheats, Old nick nacks of sorts in old home sites but never any silver. Which to me was strange. started to ask myself if maybe i just had a crap machine. Well tonight i found silver.... 1927 merc. and a wheat. Also a pin/broch looking thing. At least i know that theres silver at the old plantation i have been hunting. So am going to have to start griding i guess :) HH

That is a really nice looking Merc. They are my favorite coins. Glad you found it. It looks really good for the date. Wish you many more.

Congrats Mighty Mouse. Nice find. I believe your relic item is one half of a butterfly ladies belt buckle. There should be a clasp on the back where the other half would have joined it. They were popular in the 1890's. Hope that helps...Lance
