White's DFX, Ace 250, Garrett Pro-Pointer
So I received permission to hunt this 1922 house. The house has only had three owners and has never
been detected. I first hit the backyard which took me most of the day. I found four button's. I need help ID these.
Found loads of coin spills. Most of these were recent pennies. Actually got tired from all the signals and moved on. They'll
be waiting for me again I'm sure.

The house also had a wagon house in the back where they fixed horse buggies around the turn of the century. Prob made good money.

I hit the front yard next and came upon a +95 signal on the DFX. I never dig these (ghost signals most of the time or pipes) but
the signal was repeating and seemed steady. Out pops this merc. I almost ruined my shorts.

I've hunted so long and never found one.
I hope you enjoy the pic's. I have alot of them. I got invited back tomorrow to explore the neighbor's property.

Congrats on your first Merc,many more in your future! :thumbsup:
 
Lol, I would probably ruin my shorts if I found a Merc. Congratulations :thumbsup:
 
Good stuff! looks like a broken handle to a bb gun also. though looking at the size compared to the pull tabs very small :icon_scratch:
 
Fishstank,

Hope it is the first of many.

Silver is always nice. ;D :wink:

might wanna re-check the hole for more coins.... +95 is too high for a little Merc it seems to me.... make sure there arent more little merc's hiding there or bigger siblings...... congrats on a cool spot to hunt my friend!
 
Congrats, but be sure to post more on that button! Thee's some great folks around here knowing a good deal on those buttons and that one looks nice!
 
WTG on your first merc. This is just the beginning there is now more to come. Good luck on your next hunt...Matt
 
Congrats on the Merc.

I have a client buying a two family home with an extra empty lot next to it in a city that goes back 325 years. I'm hoping the closing goes smoothly on Monday so I can detect the property. There is around a months worth of renovations so I'll have the all of February to hit it pretty hard. I can't wait....I just hope it warms up a bit so the ground thaws.

Looking thru my stash of coins last night I discovered a 43S War Nickel. Any thoughts on any of the button's? Is there any websites
I can check out to compare?

Thanks,
Fishstank

You might want to post a pic of that button on "what is it" forum....if it can be identified, the smart folks there will ID it for you.

I thought T-Net had a Button forum but I could not find it. If it does not that is something the Mods may want to add. Just my two cents and one button.

congrats on your first :thumbsup:
