  1. HELP IDENTIFY GOLD RING!

    Went detecting today in a late 1800's park where the city had recently tore out an old tennis court. Have found several relics, 4 indian head pennies, 10 wheat pennies, a merc dime, and this ring. There is a maker mark inside and what appears to be a sapphire stone. Any help identifying if it is...
  2. Silver dime!!

    Hi! I decided to detect in the yard of the family's 1700s farmhouse and literally the second indication gave me this!! 1929 silver Mercury head dime. PRISTINE condition like it must've gone right in the ground. I also found 4 wheat pennies (1937, '41, '44, and '53) and a quarter...from 2008...
  3. 1917 Merc w/Full Split Bands? & the nicest cellar holes I’ve seen

    Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...
  4. Park hunt may 28. Silver!

    It cleared at the perfect time today, drove downtown to drop my brother off for graduation rehearsal and then down to a park I've been looking at for a week. The park was empty, everything was at peace. Clouds cleared for a decent hunt Mercury dime was so crusted the obverse was covered...
  5. First silver coin

    While trying out my new minelab equinox 600 today for the second time I found my first silver coin. 1943 mercury dime. I've just been searching the yard to try and get use to the machine and was excited to see it. The property was my great grandmas before I moved in so I was excited when I found it.
  6. Two IHC’s and Barber dime in the same hole! Also Merc and military buttons.

  11. Mercury Dime and Indian Nickel In Same Day

    My best find to date. Spent two hours on the beach this morning. The dime was almost on the surface. Because of all the encouragment I got here after posting the car wash token, I decided to get back at it as soon as possible. Nickel looks like it says 1920, difficult to read. Other is 5...

  15. Mercury rising

    Its been slow on the halves for me. I was pleasantly surprised by this little gang of dimes as I sifted through rolls of dimes and nickels I collected during my last coin run. It was funny bc Dozer was just saying the Mercs were scarce and I was thinking I was due for one. They usually turn up...

    My first Double-Double! Back to the So. Baltimore park on Thursday amidst the occasional rain. An early downpour chased me back in the truck, but soon I was back out detecting. After a slow start, the coins and better targets started coming. First silver was the 1909 Barber quarter, the...
