We went hunting with my buddy 219erMan with the intent of jumping right into a "hunted out" trashy spot and just see what we could pull out by digging all the iffy signals. I was surprised at the amount of goodies that have been bypassed over the years. :icon_pirat:

Most of it was infact trash but we were rewarded for our efforts. I found my 1st then 2nd V-Nickels for the year (The past 2 years I have only pulled 2 per year so I'm tied at 2 again)

The first pix is all the iffy targets that I dug, mostly garbage.
Second pix is all the good iffy signals that I found.
enjoy. :icon_pirat:

NO D on the 1916 Merc?

It was funny, Dave said "16d" right as I was cleaning it off, I then saw that it was a 1916. A huge chill ran down my spine, then I flipped it over and sadly there was no mint mark... :'(
 

Looks like you had fun and all that digging paid off...Congrats :thumbsup:
 

WTG bud. Bet there is a bit of gold in there too.

Yea there was/is, my buddy Dave found a small gold "D" earring today but we didn't have a loupe to see the marking on the stud. I'm sure there is more just waiting to be enearthed. :icon_pirat:
 

Awesome finds....to bad the Merc doesnt have a D...still a nice coin
 

That sure pays off Good finds :icon_thumright: if i ever get a full day off like today and no rain >:( iam going to try that iffy sigs. Good day out Dd60
 

Hey, that Buick emblem should be in the good finds pile!
As you guys have always said: "Dig all the iffy signals, dig everything"!
Looks like you've proven it.

First thing I thought of too when I saw the 1916 and that you didn't mention it in your original post ::) Nice hunt TF :icon_sunny:
 

I would go back & keep hunting until you find that d it has to be there some place.
 

Good day. That exactly why I like trashy area and iffy signals :thumbsup:
