Hey everyone,

I hit the same spot as yesterday hoping to keep the silver streak going and did with my second 1916 Merc Dime ensnared in a ball of roots. No D again unfortunately but silver is silver and I manged a two piece button (Mid 19 to turn of century??) with some sort of floral pattern design (women's coat button??). I also pulled something that I can't identify but it seemed interesting enough to take home so any info on it is appreciated. Thanks for looking and HH! :sunny:

Nice Mercury Dime and it's pretty old which makes it even better...
 

Thanks! :thumbsup:
 

Nice going on the Merc! If only it had a "D"...

The other piece looks like part of a suspender buckle.

Thanks Neil! Yeah, I took a deep breath when I saw the date and flipped it but no dice this time. Thanks for the info too, :icon_thumright:, It's about 3/4 the size of a playing card if that sounds right.
