The rain finally stopped late this morning in W PA. It has been a really wet early summer so far. Decided to keep it simple and hit my normal old homestead lunchsite. It was immediately clear that with 80 degrees and now sunny that the humidity was out of control. Kept to the shadows of the forest and saw some nice ripe blackberry bushes near where I had pulled some previous coins. First signal was a high tone, had to clear a little brush.

Then found 5 wheats in the same section if blackberry bushes. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1500054999.643002.jpg
This 1917 S Merc has a great look to it. Just rinsed the dirt off. Something about the simplicity of this coin design makes it one of my favorites to find. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1500055106.238430.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1500055115.036580.jpg
Good luck out there this weekend!

That is one blazer of a Merc. I would venture to guess, that its a favorite coin to dig, for most of us out there. ( o.k. for me anyway ).
