A pleasant surprise for me too! :)

Wow, I love this hobby. You really never know what you're going to dig. I was at an old school where I did get a good 'vibe' but there was very little grassy area to detect. I moved to a sidewalk area by a bus stop on the 'street side' of a grassy area and found my first Merc! I'll say it again, WOW I LOVE THIS HOBBY! My old Coinmaster 5500/D still rules!

Great job!
Those Mercs are absolutely evil!

And speaking of your detector, old became new again!
Your machine did exactly what it was designed to do!
Congrats!
