Met my goal of 50 today!

[litefire56]

I heard about a local curb and sidewalk tear-out yesterday, so Brett and I decided to check it out
this afternoon. That didn't pan out for us so we tried a park that I dug a Merc from earlier this week. My first signal turned out to be a 1919 Merc, and I thought it was a 1/2 Reale at first as it was so chewed up and bent. After a wheat or two I got another good signal next to some junk. It was so close that I couldn't even get a decent pinpoint on it. But I had put on my 6x10dd coil to work the vertical curb cuts earlier and was just too lazy to switch it back. Glad I did as I don't think my regular coil would have picked up on this coin. Turned out to be a 45 Merc and my 50th silver for the year.
Now, on to 100 or maybe I should just make it 75.

Thanks for looking guys!

Oh man!!! Only the second Merc I've ever seen that I didn't think was gorgeous!

She may not be pretty, but she found a good home and I'll bet you're glad to have her!

Congrats on the nice finds and for hitting your 50th!!!

My wife or the coin?

Yeah she's ugly, but she sure can cook!

Nice, even if she's a "two-bagger"...

But then I'm no cover boy myself, so I'd take her even without the Corona's and last call.....

I don't think I've veer seen a merc quite like that bent, scuffed one. Interesting, looks like it's been burned. I'm surprised Kimsdad doesn't think it's gorgeous! Ever heard of unconditional love, Neil??

Congrats on your #50 silver! You're getting up there!
