It finally happened, it was at an older hunt site and was only 1/2 inch deep. They hauled in top soil and i had never gone over that part. I hunted the area giving up the older coins and old brass. Keeper total for the year 83 coins (66 pre-1900, 14 from the 1860's, only this one mercury dime amongst the total). I guess snow is on the way in a day or two.
