Merc Machine

[Carolina Tom]

Tnetter kurtstuben came and picked me up this morning. We went to the latest local hotspot. It was available today, and we spent 5 hours enjoying it.

I managed to dig 74 coins.



14 were wheaties, plus a marble.



Kurt said to tell you hi.



OK, enough nonsense. It was a day I won’t soon forget. There is not a lot to the story, I dug a lot of holes, and apparently the place had no been well hunted prior.

The fourth hole of the morning had this in it.



I plugged along and every here and there one would pop up.



This clump had a really nice silver edge hanging out of it. You just have to like that.



I’m tired and sore, but I managed to find a half dozen Mercury dimes today. Most silver coins in one day this year. I was very lucky today.



YTD silver coins: 70

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Congrats on the totals, that's a lot of holes. Getting a 6 pack of Mercs is a day to remember.

74 coins is a lot of digging and 5 mercs is a GREAT day! Sounds like a bit of virgin ground you all hunted. Congrats on the great finds!

ps- I LOVE seeing that silver edge peeking out of the dirt! It's knowing you hit something good and you have up open it to find out just how good. Like holding a lottery ticket you know is a winner!

75 coins IS a lot of digging! I know I dug 75 pull tabs once

Congrats on an awesome spot and TON of SILVER!
