Back to my mothers yard this afternoon to get this first merc for me. It's a 1917 worn smooth out...lol Still no wheat pennies from this yard but tons of memorials.
Found with a loaner Teknetics 2 detector. Working along a sixty yard long sidewalk in front of my mothers house. The lot dates back to 1890. The town founder and bank owner lived on this lot. I keep thinking buried money but I have yet to find any other than loose coins....lol Two silvers though in two days. I think I'll go for number three tomorrow
