Holy cow I am blown away by what just happened! I bought some silver coins from a fellow a few years back, and he gave me some books for coins for free. That was cool, but what happened tonight beat all. We are having a yard sale tomorrow, and I was rounding up random stuff when I came across my blue coin books. I started flipping through them to make sure coins were not left in them, but after the first one I got the swell idea to use my pro pointer! As I made my way over the last book, I got a solid beep and it startled me. My girlfriend walked over, and mentioned that it was probably a staple. I turned the page and sure enough a coin was shoved in between the cardboard and completely hidden! The pro pointer was singing! We both stood there in disbelief! Thank God it was the mercury dime folder! It is SILVER! It is dated 1928! You NEVER know what you are going to find! Thanks for reading!

Yup, pinpointers come in handy! I saved myself a planer blade by checking a board with mine, and sure enough, there was a big chunk of a nail broken off in it.

Nice save on the merc!
