Hello!

Got out kinda late today ~ only detected for about 3 hours, but still managed to find a few goodies! I dug a 1916 Merc dime, 1918 Merc dime, 1935-S Merc dime, 1943-S War nickel, some clad, a few wheat cents, and the top part of a broken sterling silver ring with a big "V" on top and an "H" and "S" on the sides.

It's always great to see that silver coin in your dig ~ but my heart really started pounding today when I seen the 1916 date on the Merc dime hoping there was gonna be a "D" mint mark on the reverse . . . . . . but no luck ~ NO MINT MARK! Oh well, still a cool find!

I took pic's of the finds before and after I cleaned 'em up. These dimes are my silver coin finds #117, #118, & #119 for the year!

THANKS for looking!
Neil
