A little late posting this but hey, better late than never.
I tried to hook up with Dan for a āberg hunt but our schedules didnāt match. Also, Nate had other plans. Anyway, solo I went for a few hours. I cleared some brush and within the first hour I found 3 silver coins and a silver spoon.
The Merc was all caked over with dirt so I couldnāt see the date. On the drive home I was thinking that it could be a 1916D. $$$$$. Well when I got home and started cleaning the coins I started to see what looked like a 1916! Immediately time appeared to stand still and I was oblivious to everything else. I cleaned it some more and verified it was a 1916 in excellent shape. I flipped it over and carefully cleaned the back. My out of body experience ended when I didnāt see the D. Still a nice find.
Itās the first 1916 Nate and I have found.
The silver spoon turned out to be a nice find. It has a patent date of 1909 and dated 1915.
The rest of the stuff:
Finally, a picture of the girl who broke my heart.
She no longer has any interest in metal detecting. Never mind she was only 11 and only did it for about a month or two. 
Maybe some day she will returnā¦. My daughter just tuned 16 and Iām sure this is what she was wishing before blowing out her candles.
HH all,
