War Nickel, 1917-d Merc, and an interesting pin

[Murray8144]

Second day with the etrac. The Merc was only 4 inches down...1917-d. Also pulled my second war nickel...very happy with that.

The 'pin' says 'trot-moc club'. From what I gather it dates from around the turn of the century and was attached to a particular model of leather moccasins made by the ashby-crawford shoe company.

Other than that I pulled 4 wheats and $1.15 in beer money. Liking the etrac.

it's a double-edged sword. hundreds of coils have swept most of the ground around here (at least I like to tell myself that when i skunk out). luckily i'm still siked for modern silver...but i'm glad you have you're sort of sites where you hunt. i've pulled a seated from your neck of the woods...your turn to pull some urban treasure up here

Congrats on the silver and other finds

many thanks!

Nicely done ,, I have nicknamed my E-trac, "The Monster "
It gave me 158 silver coins last year and 81 in 2014.
Although 13-13 is a nickel signal on the E-trac or CTX, any combination of numbers from 12-09 to 13-14 can turn up gold as well as nickels. My last War nickel came in at 12-14.
Congrats on a nice hunt

No way anybody would pass up that signal. Even you. I was so sure it was a silver quarter or half that I cut like a 2 foot wide plug so as to not scratch it
