Detected this afternoon at my Grandmothers house that she has lived since '69 and found my second rosie, a '64, and my first merc, a '42D. Also found 5 wheats (2) 50's a 53 and (2) 57's. Also found an old car that I thought was kinda cool even though it's trashed. Anyway it was a great couple hours and when I got home surprise #2 my wife had framed my Csonka jersey. She's the best!

Congratulations on your first. I'm sure that is the first of many to come. Once detecting gets it your blood there is no cure. James

Congrats on finding the Merc onemanwolfpack! :notworthy:
Of course if that 'Lesney Car' had been complete it would've been worth a fortune! :laughing7:

Congrats on your first Merc! Your Merc and I are of exactly the same vintage and we both are looking pretty good considering natural wear and tear, lol. I have yet to dig a Merc. HH Andi
