I almost didn't post because it seems a little suspect that I had just posted on Monday that I had never found a Mercury Dime and just 3 days later I found one....and in fairly good condition minus the gash i put in it. I also found in modern coins 13 pennies, 2 quarters, 3 dimes...older coins I found 8 wheaties...1942D, 1957D, 19??, 1941, 1944, 1938, 1950 and 1942...AND a "play golf" token. I found all of this in my buddy's front yard all in about an hour and a half. I guess in the last post I should have said that I have never found a gold coin...Enjoy the pics.
