Had another day off today cause of the snow and decided to head out to the same spot as the other day. Low and behold I found another 1916 Merc just a couple feet away from the last finds. 2 - 1916 mercs within a week and as my luck would have it. Neither are a "D" mint. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Looks like you've got a pattern. Snowstorm, silver! Keep at it! While you can still find the ground. ;)

WTG!

Great job! You just keep finding those 1916s and eventually you'll come across one with the D mint mark!

Very nice find. I found a 1916 last year, and looked and looked for that D, but alas, it was not there, no matter how many times I checked. GL&HH.

That's Sweet!! Maybe that next one will be in mint condition and will have that D mint mark.
How much snow you detecting in? Do you think the snow or the cold effects your metal detector? I already know how the snow and cold effects me, it was a cold one yesterday with that wind blowing.lol

Gold Luck on that 1916-D mint!!

we have about 8" of powdery snow. It's easy to get the coil down under it. I go detecting every winter and don't find that it effects my machine in anyway. I have to take advantage of any day I can get. Spring to fall is my busy season, and I don't get much time off. So I just dress warm and head for the woods where the ground is soft.
