Hello!

I got to get out for just a couple hours today. My wife had some projects around the house to do, so I didn't get out until late afternoon. I met up with Richard Downtown. He found a nice Buffalo nickel and a silver ring before I got out today. I did manage to dig a few wheats, some clad, and a 1917-S Mercury dime.

This dime is my silver coin find #22 for the year. I took a close-up picture of the date area.

Thanks for looking!!
Neil
