Few more silvers from the "backyard"

Etrac007 invited me to go hunt with him this morning in my neck of the woods, so close to my house, practically my backyard.

First target within 15 minutes of hunting....a wheatie at 4"-5", and then another 3 inches deeper, the 1916-s Barber dime. Got a few wheaties here and there and got a high tone that was breaky....but Etrac007 just dug one of those signals and it ended up being a merc....so I dug it and out poped the '18 Merc from around 7"-8".

The 1916 plain date was found Thurs near the area where I found the Barber Q. I would be lying to you guys if I told you that my heart wasn't racing when I first saw 1916. That good ole pump of mine started beating soooo fast.....but only until I turned the dime around, and let me tell you....it was a slow turn over as i was praying for the "D".

Nice meeting everyone else at the hunt today, Todd and Rob, and (sorry)

All in all a good hunt with good people and great weather and digging conditions.

Nice finds, Jon!!!

Too bad no "D"!

Isn't it great to have a good spot close to home?

Congrats on some nice silver there Seated........Yeah those 1916 Merc's are a heart-stopper.....You either mentally chang the s to a 'd' ,or if it's a plain.....You start imagining there is a mm after all.
Congrats

Great finds! What a thrill on the 16. Given the 21 Merc you found this year my bet is that the dirt gods may still give you a 16D!

Too funny you say that....I looked at the back of it at least a dozen times on my way home which is less than 5 mins. away from the hunt spot, hoping it will "magically" appear when I look at it again to make sure if there is a "D" there.

Good hunt, John. It was nice meeting you!
I was surrounded by etrac's and my jalopy could only find 3 wheaties.
My silver drought continues.

Well now that you've established that luck has little to do with it, the D may yet come along.

Re: Few more silvers from the "backyard"

so many 16's with no "D"

Makes you want to go out more......
