digging in the woods again with Joe-Dirt

[JoeBro]

So I pulled out a (2nd from this location) 1919 Merc today from this location we have been to a few times. The first one was in better condition and has the S mint mark. This one today has no mark.

Joe-Dirt pulled out a 1900 barber dime.

I also found this odd gold plated stick pin i guess i will call it. There is a mark on the stick itself. I have done my best to get a close up of the mark, its very small. It looks like it says dicaling. Anyone familiar with this and can read the mark?

I may be wrong but I think it says "sterling"

I'm thinking 'STERLING' as well. Nice find.

Nice pin. That's a very nice piece. GL to ya!

I didn’t even think of sterling when looking at it, it could be. I pulled a similar pin from the same area but it’s gold plated copper.

Cool pin, I'd vote Sterling as well

Sweet pin and love those dimes I love hunting in the woods not lots of junk and you can dig every signal. Always fun to hunt with another tnetter also. Great post my friend. Tommy
