Went back to one of my haunts with the new White's MX5. I'm REALLY likin' this machine the more I get used to it.
Got a solid 78-80 on the VDI, reasonably deep. BAM! A Merc dime! SWEET! or wait....

As I'm excitedly rubbing the mud away, I was pushing the mud through weird holes in the coin and there's something attached to it...

Closer inspection reveals a NEAT little earring made from a Mercury dime. TOO COOL!

My first find like this. The surface of the dime has been cut away and there's a silver thumbscrew to clamp in to the ear.

Anyone ever see one of these before?
