1916 Merc and Some Other Junk

[Carolina Tom]

I went out hunting with Smittyman (of TNet fame) on Tuesday. We hit a few spots in a little redneck town, in the next county over. The pickings were slim, but a good time was had by both of us.

I found a 1916 Merc, I looked and looked for the "D" mint mark, but alas, it was not there. I also found a Jolly Time popcorn spinner token, a fake gold ring, a charm from an '85 high school graduation tassle and kid's ring. When I pulled the fake ring out of the ground, it was gold, so I looked for a makers mark, and sure enough it said "18K" inside... I almost got excited, then I noticed that it also had "HGE" inside.... Heavy Gold Electroplate... dang!

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Hi Son,

Cool haul of treasure. It's the hunt and the companionship that's the real fun. Enjoy your weekend...Mom (Carolina Toms Mom)
