1944 Mercury Dime. I figured it would be Rosie. :laughing7:

I woke up early this morning and decided the get the 200 silver coins in less than a half of a year barrier out of the way. I went back to the site where I found the Silver Half Dollar a few weeks back. My research shows that the church is built on a site where some mid-forties homes were torn down.

I started on the grassy area next to the sidewalk first because of all the dew. The grass needed cutting as well. It didn't take but a few minutes before I got my search coil over a 1944 Mercury Dime. It must have been a little on edge, because the ID numbers were really bouncy.

A member of the church showed up who helps with the care of the grounds. He was there to cut the limbs off of a fallen tree that was blocking a sidewalk. I shot the breeze with him for awhile. Long story short, he said make myself at home. About that time, a lawn service showed up to cut the grass, so I decided to leave and comeback at a later date.

I drove around for awhile and got 4 more permissions. One's, a huge corner lot. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I found a Buffalo Nickel that was about 2 inches deep and one wheat penny.

My F75DST detector settings: 9.0, Sensitivity - mostly around 80, DE Mode, 4H Tones, Disc Level 0, GB mostly around 70.

This was my 71st hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year now stands at 200. I reached my goal for a half of year. Still time left to find more.

Congrats on the 200th silver tabman! A worthy goal! BTW, is it just me or is that 1944 a little odd on the date?

That's crazy man, congrats on hitting 200. We should start a betting pool on how many you get by the end of the year.

Very impressive tabman. Congrats!
Thanks! I surprise myself sometimes. LOL

That is an incredible number for 6 months,,
you are the silver prince of TNet.
Congrats
Thanks! I'm just lucky to have some good sites to detect. Me being really good at talking people into detecting their yards is a big plus. I'm a natural born salesman.

200 silvers. Amazing, but be careful or you'll get a hernia carrying all that to sell...
Thanks! All those silver and gold rings and other pieces of jewelry that I've found earlier this year have taken a back seat during this silver coin run. I haven't taken a close look or done any calculations on gold weight etc., but there's a good chance that the jewelry is more valuable than the silver coins. I need to get back to swinging my Tesoros.


That's a hell of a lot of silver coins!!!!! Congrats and HH
Thanks! There are so many silver coins out there that I can't get all. LOL

Nice work Tennessee, Beautiful coin!
Thanks! It has been a fun run.

Congrats on 200 silvers and it's not even half way thur the year yet, Unreal!!
Thanks. The second half of the year won't be as good, because it consist mostly of the hot Summer months.

LOL.......I've got 2 for this year........

Thanks! I'm running the silver coin count up for the year so high that I won't even be able to break the record unless I find a coin stash. I keep most of my valuables in a safety deposit box at the bank. Mostly my wife's jewelry. LOL

Congrats on the 200th
Thanks! It has been a good year for sure.

Thanks! Being retired and having plenty of time on my hands has its advantages. Another plus is being able to easily talk people into letting me dig holes in their yards. After introducing myself and chewing the fat some, I found that looking them directly into their eyes, and saying "would you please give me your permission to metal detector your yard" works pretty good for me. Then comes the explaining exactly what I'll be doing phase. Also reassuring them that no harm will come to their lawn. I throw in a lot of smiles and some homegrown tomatoes if I have any. LOL

Congratz on hitting 200! For the second half of the year, see if you can find another 200 silver coins but without getting skunked! :tongue3:
If anyone could pull it off, it would be you!
