20170709_130912.jpg 20170709_130915.jpg Sorry about the bad pics a 1926 Mercury a 1953 wheat and a 1925 wheat. Im glad more people are posting there finds even if there not banner worthy. I like to go to this old park there are many hills where I find alot of my silver and rings . This Mercury was one of those things where I dip my coil under a branch thats farther up the steep hill I was on half hoping for no signal.Also glad there was one I found the 1925 wheat there also these are very steep hills the collage kids climbed back in the day. I find so many pot pipes I could lay them from here to Ohio Thanks for looking HH Tommy

I do the history of coins and relics is freakin awesome. I love those silver coins, Here in Michigan all my clad is a really dark black almost ,I have mason jars of em but every silver is like it was dropped yesterday I keep all my silver coins in cases, I have found so many old relics and coins in this one spot its amazing. This is why I love this site other people who understand the hobby and the hunt. There Many people dont have a clue or or could ever understand the thrill of this, or have the patience.. Were all nuts!!!!!!

Congrats on the Merc A2, when are you going to create a facebook head shop page so you can sell all those pot pipes? Link it to the UofM page. Maybe those who lost them might want to buy them back for sentimental reasons.

Well done Tommy!

One of the best hunters I know told me, that he gets the good stuff in places that others are too lazy to hunt. I always try the steep spots.

Best of luck to you sir.

Love those hills,, the more drug pipes I find, the more I'm convinced that more good targets had to have been dropped.
Congrats on the Mercury. If that was a 1926S, you would of had a semi-key date.
