Went up to CT yesterday and did an all day hunt at an old area that once was a gristmill near my buddies house. Not much quantity, but the quality was pretty good. Three Mercs (1924-P, 1929-S, 1939-D), a nastly little 1941 nickel, a copper thingy, 2 really old pulltabs, a nicely embossed 1950s Gordons Gin bottle, and about 50lbs each of old rusted out steel beer cans! The Mercs are my first silver coins since last summer, so I'm happy with 'em! Thanks for looking, and HH!

Nice finds. Nice pictures too.
Did you find the merc. on the right in gravel.
It kind of looks like some that I have found that were dug out of gravel.
