Found a mercury dime that bought a lot of bubble gum in it's day!!!

I had a chance to get out for a few hours yesterday. The weather was quite nice now that the wind has died down. I had two site to hit. The first was one of those that has you drooling it looked so good. I gridded the whole thing and was able to pull the 1942 mercury dime and two wheat pennies. A little let down yes, but for those that know me finding a single silver dime is still very exciting for me. So my day was already made. The second site looked "blah" with a tiny front yard, lots of weeds and leaves, but I thought give it a chance. Glad I did as I was able to find a 1950 Roosevelt dime, three wheat pennies, a little silver bling earring and finally the 1935 mercury dime. It is quite worn and I can imagine bought a lot of packs of candy and bubble gum in it's day before it was dropped.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. And for you football fans out there enjoy the game tonight. GL & GH

I love my Deus a lot. Little by little I am learning how to fine tune it for my conditions. I've also been very fortunate to have met other Deus users here on T-net kind enough to share programs that work well for them. I think you will be very happy with the Deus.

Thanks Abe. I am really enjoying the Deus. I will be attending the Deus boot camp on the 21st of this month. I am hoping it proves to be beneficial and I walk out fully understanding the machine.

Any opportunity to learn more about your machine is great. I know George learned a lot. If they teach him they can teach anyone lol
