A birthday Merc

[halfdime]

We went to a birthday party for my aunt this afternoon; this event was hosted by a cousin who lives adjacent to an old church site where I've done very well in recent years. After the conversation and feeding periods were well underway, I needed a little fresh air. This usually means grabbing the detector as well, and I headed outside. Within minutes I had this 1919 Merc in hand, my only reward for a property loaded with trash. Meanwhile, though we were celebrating my aunt's birthday (which is the 11th), I found out that the host, my oldest cousin, was actually born on November 8. I decided that the Merc would be hers; the 19 isn't one I need, and doesn't every woman want precious metal for her birthday? I washed it up, photographed it and put the picture here for the world to see. When next I see Arlene, the dime will be hers.

Congrats on the Merc HD.
An old one too. Mine are usually in the mid-40's.
Silver gifts are always nice.

So have I changed much in 40 years?

Arlene would have preferred this look!
