Sweet start to 2011

[Bunker]

Hi Everyone,
Got permission to hunt a neighbor's yard today. Her house was built in 1920. I was all over it!! At first I was finding a lot of memorials and then the SR-71 in the pix. Finally a wheat, this gave me some optimism for more. The signal led me to believe it was another Lincoln I was surprised to find a 1943 Merc. After a couple of more wheats, I got a nickel signal that was jumping a little I was happy to see a silver war nickel emerge. Starting to get dark and I only had my sunglasses with cheaters built in it was getting harder to see what was going on. One more silver/Lincoln tone at about 5 inches, why not dig it!!! Looked to be a silver dime, too dirty to tell. I put it in my pocket to clean up at home. Boy was I pumped up when I saw the "one dime" on the coin when I pulled it out. This is my 2nd Barber Dime and just so happens to be another 1903. Also found $1.16 in clad.
Great way to start the new year!!!
Good hunting everyone and thanks for looking!

nice start indeed. love the SR71.

the 3 on that merc looks funky. maybe a misstrike? never found one myself so not sure, maybe they are all like that.

Looks like a big waste of time with that SR-71 in there, surely you are not going to go back.............Ummmm, where exactly is this place?

Nice finds there, & a wide selection too. As far as the 43 being a mis strike I think the only 43 with a error is a re-punch on the s mint mark. I hope u find more upon your return.
