Went back to my favorite park for 2 hours this morning. Hit an area I have been over several times before. Ground under the trees was still moist and easier digging. Went super slow listening for the deep repeatable signals. Got 2 Mercs at the opposite ends of the condition spectrum - a 1923 that is pretty worn and a 1916S that has full bands. Had a brief moment of excitement when I saw the dime was a 1916, flipped it over and it appeared it had a mint mark but within a few seconds of rinsing it off saw it was an S. Also found 7 wheaties.

Wow, great day for you! I love those mercs. It's really cool finding sharp mercs (especially when they are older ones), but, like D-Dub mentioned the other day, there's something about a worn, smooth merc that I love. Maybe it's character, I don't know. But they are fun to find nonetheless. I still gotta get out with you one of these days.

Sweet Sparklers !!
 

Congrats on the cool finds. :icon_thumright: That '16 must have been in the ground a long time, usually they are so worn from circulation.
 

Congrats on a couple of shinnies :icon_thumright:
 

Nice hunt! Early mercs are always nice to find.

Nice Mercs from the park, seems that the popular date this year so far is the 1916.
 

Killer dimes, one mint mark away from silver bliss!
 

That is one spectacular 1916!! Best one I've seen come out of the ground :thumbsup:

Sweet hunt!
 

Congrats on those nice mercs PocketSpill....Those 1916's are a heartstopper
