100+ Year-old field gives up silver

[Mi$terG]

Got out on Monday to a new spot on a day off from work. Had no idea what to expect... How many MD'ers have hit this site? Anyway my first target was a nice solid 82 on my AT Pro at only 2 inches. As I knelt down to dig it all I could picture was a clad dime. I was wrong. I brushed some dirt off and saw a purplish, tarnished Mercury dime. A really nice surprise. Turned out to be a relatively early one- a 1923-S. Later I pulled a 1956 wheat and then a very shallow 1915-D wheatie, which was in decent shape. Can't wait to go back to see what else is left there. Thanks for looking!

nice finding a park that has some goods left in it!, I stumbled upon a small park near me and managed 4 silvers and about 12 wheats on 2 separate 2 hr hunts

Congrats!
