After work hunt 1909 wheat and a 21 merc....Pic of padded tape on Nox grip..

[Toecutter]

This was a football field back in the 50s not sure when they started using it as a football field though, this is my third merc and not sure on wheats guessing around 10 so fare, also put handle bar tape on my Nox grip, second day out with new tape and its holding up good, makes the handle a little thicker and give cushion and better grip... Just noticed the date on the merc is wrong in my title lol

Your Mercury dime appears to be 1929 or 1920 but I think 1929 not a 21.....Joe McDonough

No it doesn't. If it has a mint mark it would have to be "s". If it has the "s"....SCORE!

sweet!

The wheat isn't a 1909 either. Looks like a 1969D to me, but, if it's truly a wheat, it must be another year. There were no D mint cents in 1909.

Ill have to take a better look, the back side of the coin is encrusted, Ill get the loop out when I get home to verify, I was wrong once before....once lol

Well I cleaned it off better the date still looks like 1909 but is worn badly, I can see the Lincoln memorial on the back, so defiantly not a 1909, thanks for the heads up Cudamark

Looks like you’re going to be busy. That looks like a very large area to hunt. Good luck and congrats on the finds.
