Hi all. We finally got rain yesterday and early this morning, so I had to get out once it stopped. Ended up at a park that I have been to probably 3 times before with my older Garrett ( GTAx 500 ). First time there, I met the grounds keeper. He told me the park had been built in the 1960's, so I always suspected there should be some silver there. This park has never produced a lot of coins for me and have always dug much trash. Today wasn't much different. The first 8 targets were screw on bottle caps. I finally got into a little clad, then dug a 1934 wheat that I had to use a loupe to see the date. About 8 feet away, I got the Merc, a '37 no mint. The last target of the day.......another screw on bottle cap.

Great find! I know how it is with those screw off caps..glad you pulled something good out of there
 
That's a nice silver beauty, congrats!
 
Nice silver! :occasion14: It sure makes a day MDing worth every second when you pull something like that out of the ground.
 
now you dun got bit! many more of those to come...
 
Thanks all. This is my 3rd silver coin this year. First was '60 Rosie, 2nd was '46 Washington, and now this one. Notice they have gotten older and better each time? This means the next should be a Barber, right?:laughing7:
 
Congrats on the silver! Luv them mercs!

You have to get a Standing Liberty quarter next...then Barber.:laughing7: Good Luck.
 
Always glad to see persistence pay off. It gets tough sometimes, knowing it's there but for whatever reason we just can't seem to get over them.

A nice first!

Good save!
 
Nice! That was my first silver, too.
 
Very nice silver
