I did pretty good today and a long one it was. I went to City Park in New Orleans where off found the earring the rest was trash and clad. It rained all day yesterday so I figured it would be better to dig this particular hard clay area. So I left the park and was on my way to a field that had army barracks in the 1940s there were some trees away from the field that I've never checked so hot for thought I change it up. That's where I found the 1924 Mercury and the 1964 Washington late in the day. You don't understand I haven't found a Mercury in 18 months and it's just my 2nd one. And I was just thinking about that earlier in the day at the park. I wanted a Mercury dime bad and I found one at another place that I least expected. I love this hobby.

.......And you know I GOT to go back tomorrow.

And does anyone know what this is. I found this right around the Mercury dime at the same depth.

Go with your gut...best divining available. That's what I call in the zone. For me it's like metal detecting zen...whenever I can get in a groove, detecting like second nature...that's when the best surprises seem to happen.

I've been on a good silver quarter run this year actually my first Standing Liberty last morning month, but that Liberty Dime's been haunting me. [:laughing
