mercury dime

Went detecting today in a late 1800's park where the city had recently tore out an old tennis court. Have found several relics, 4 indian head pennies, 10 wheat pennies, a merc dime, and this ring. There is a maker mark inside and what appears to be a sapphire stone. Any help identifying if it is...

Hi! I decided to detect in the yard of the family's 1700s farmhouse and literally the second indication gave me this!! 1929 silver Mercury head dime. PRISTINE condition like it must've gone right in the ground. I also found 4 wheat pennies (1937, '41, '44, and '53) and a quarter...from 2008...

Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...

It cleared at the perfect time today, drove downtown to drop my brother off for graduation rehearsal and then down to a park I've been looking at for a week. The park was empty, everything was at peace. Clouds cleared for a decent hunt Mercury dime was so crusted the obverse was covered...

While trying out my new minelab equinox 600 today for the second time I found my first silver coin. 1943 mercury dime. I've just been searching the yard to try and get use to the machine and was excited to see it. The property was my great grandmas before I moved in so I was excited when I found it.

Today I went out to a local park for a few hours of detecting. Second day in a row that I have been able to hunt in quite a while. Also, second day in a row that I have found two silvers! My first silver was a 1943 Mercury dime! I initially had a tough time pinpointing it, but eventually I saw...

This evening I got permission to detect the front yard of an empty house off market one of my fathers clients is cleaning up for later rent. House was completed in ‘76. This 1 hour hunt produced some firsts. I was pretty darn surprised to find early 20th century silver v :o ‘27 S 10C :o ‘64...

Did a couple hour hunt this morning and got a 1944 Silver Quarter and a 1944 Merc dime im so happy ive been in a silver quarter drought but I just found one and i always love Mecs :) HH!

Found this 1943 Silver Mercury Dime today Metal Detecting!

Found my first ever Ike Dollar 1946 Silver Rosie Dime & 1919 Silver Merc Dime!

My best find to date. Spent two hours on the beach this morning. The dime was almost on the surface. Because of all the encouragment I got here after posting the car wash token, I decided to get back at it as soon as possible. Nickel looks like it says 1920, difficult to read. Other is 5...

My wife used to tease me about checking the Coinstar machines whenever we went out shopping and today i come in from work and she runs in and says "look what I got", hands me a 1936 mercury and a 1951 and 1965 Rosie dimes. Needless to say, I think she's hooked now.

I Found my first Silver Coin today a 1941 Silver Mercury Dime. I'm fairly new to Metal Detecting & Coin collecting can someone tell me the Value of this coin and is this considered in pretty good condition?

I had the privilege of getting out to do a group hunt in Hattiesburg with the South Mississippi Relic team yesterday and managed to find my 1st Silver Coin of the Month/Year which was a 1942 Mercury Dime and also my 2nd Gold Ring of the Month/Year, it was made by Town and Country and Jewelry...

Its been slow on the halves for me. I was pleasantly surprised by this little gang of dimes as I sifted through rolls of dimes and nickels I collected during my last coin run. It was funny bc Dozer was just saying the Mercs were scarce and I was thinking I was due for one. They usually turn up...

I'm on the silver now! 3rd Silver for 2016 + 4 Wheats and a lot of clad I am currently borrowing/test driving VMIairpwr's Safari and its already growing on me. Obviously it is a big upgrade from my 40 dollar Bounty Hunter lol. So i went to a park where I have found CW bullets and an old...

Just goes to show, a park is never hunted out. Starting my second year of detecting and today I was itching to get out. Up north, we have been shut down because of the temperature. Had a little warmup over the last few days and every day, I head out and do the shovel test to see if the...

Went out Saturday afternoon with Mike to a local park, it was one of those kind of days with 60 seconds of footage for a 4 1/2 hour hunt. I did manage to dig my second silver of 2015. Happy Hunting ! Dave

My first Double-Double! Back to the So. Baltimore park on Thursday amidst the occasional rain. An early downpour chased me back in the truck, but soon I was back out detecting. After a slow start, the coins and better targets started coming. First silver was the 1909 Barber quarter, the...

Title sums it up 4 is noticeable but surly weakly struck and almost not there will post a photo when on other tablet but I know there made been other post in regard to this years back but I cannot get in contact with that person so can anyone help me out I have a great looking merc 1945 with the...

Not long ago I bought this lot for $18. I waited a week and here it is! 1942 D Merc 1938 D Merc 1961 Quarter Did I score getting this for $18? And what do you people estimate these are worth? Give me your opinions.

Finally getting back into swinging the coil this year! Last three hunts finds combined: You know the hunts gone well when , you have at least one memorable item! Item from first hunt was a 10k Gold ring. Which has to be the smallest gold ring find ever for me, but I will take it! The...

After getting home Friday evening from Mexico, I was pumped and headed out for an early Saturday morning hunt. using my new 5x10 SEF Coil (which I LOVE!)I was getting good crisp deep signals all morning. my first find of the day was an awesome Sterling Silver Military SharpShooters Award Badge...

Diving and underwater metal detecting a spring along the Suwannee River in Florida, this odd Nazi badge showed up. The pin displays TAG DER ARBEIT 1934. One 1919 mercury dime was found along with a sterling silver bracelet, with a silver ring attached to it! Nice old finds!

In the past two days of dime box searching, I found 7 silver dimes, including a AU condition 1942s mercury dime. The other dimes were 1957d,1962d (AU condition),1963d,1950p,1953d, and 1964p (AU condition). The banks are closed today, so I can't search today, but I will start searching again as...

Got my first box of halves and dimes. Got skunked on my halves but on my third to last rolls of dimes I finally found this 1940 mercury dime.

Figured I would try something a little different... Up for auction is 200 Mercury Dimes 90% SILVER (4 rolls) $20 face value. All dimes are circulated, some in better condition a few in worse condition (no culls/slicks). There is a mixture of dates and mint marks, several from the teens and...

Made a trip to Ohio and a park gave us her some of her hidden treasures. Silvers, Indians tokens and more.

Well,I got a box of pennies today and decided to go through them early this morning when I got up. Found a few nice mint state coppers and a few wheat pennies as usual. But,the highlight of this morning's roll hunt was uncovering this 1903 Bronze Indian Head cent. It's pretty much just in G...

This was one of the best finds I have ever came across and surprisingly,it was found without the aid of a metal detector. I decided to share this story because I thought many of you would be interested in reading it. So,it's been about maybe a year ago since this happened but the story goes like...

Hello all, I just got into the hobby in the new year, and have been looking for places to hunt. Tried the beach thing and found trash but had fun. Tried some parks and found trash but had fun. But today I noticed a road near my house that had never been developed beyond pavement, so I got out...
