1st. Silver for the year... a 1916s.................

[seger98]

The wife (Luck be a Lady) & I went out to a mine by Oatman AZ today to do a little metal detecting. Found this really nice 1916s mercury dime, grades out to a F-12, also found a bunch of buttons & a spoon. It was a sunny 75 out at the mine today, will probably go back again tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

I was praying really hard when I was turning it over to look, but then the wife had to dash the dream and told me it was a S!!

Way to go!! Nice lady, looks in good shape considering the area. I'll be free before too long. I do want to check out the hidden pass area and the tailing piles around Oatman, along with some of those places that we were talking about.
