Met up with Park Pirate this morning for a quick hunt until my battery died ! He's been cleaning up picking through the trash with his small search coil. I decided to dig all the trash from a 4 x 4 foot patch of his honey hole and sure enough, hiding under a pile of pull tabs, bottle caps, iron nails and pencil eraser holders, I was able to find a wheat cent and a nice 1939 mercury dime.

Congrats on the silver.
Having a dead battery can be a game changer while out on a hunt.

Pencil eraser holders wear me out.

Way to search through the trash and reap treasure. That PP guy is a machine, you are lucky he left one for you!

Best of luck to you sir.

Two great finds! (1) the silver Merc, which is always a beautiful find, and (2) the reminder to ALWAYS have spare batteries on hand! :laughing7:

Congrats to you - I'm glad it worked out with the nice wheat and Merc! :icon_thumleft:
