1905-s barber, 1916 merc, and more...

On a random door knock I scored 5 silvers from an 1860 house. The owner was very kind and I am thankful she let me hunt. I hit two dimes my first go through the front yard. The back was filled and I realized back there I had changed my gain to auto on my CTX for power lines the other day. I promptly selected +3 and marched back to retrace my steps. Bing, bang, boom. A quarter and two more dimes. One was a 1916....but I didn't check the mintmark.

Happy Hunting and PDA (positive detecting attitude)

Hi Scrappy. D = Denver S = San Francisco no Mint Mark or a P = Philadelphia. The MM tells where the coin was stamped. We asked if the 1916 was a D because those, in that condition, sells for about $800! The 1905 quarter has an "O" MM for New Orleans. They closed about a century ago.

Thx tokamel!

I haven't been on in a few days, Way to go steve.. I need to know, is it the CTX or you??

Hey George, there you are! I am very up front when I say it's totally the CTX. I'm getting that 6" sniper coil for my birthday BTW. My wife had to buy it because it's the only thing on my list...
