Found a merc

[hoosierfinds]

Temps in the 50's in January --- got to get out.
I went to the lot that gave up an IH and '44 merc in December. Spent 1 1/2 hours with the XLT and got '40 and '49 wheats, a '46 nickel, and '43 merc. All of the finds are in front of the foundation rocks that are still present - about 5 feet from the sidewalk. The front yard was only about 15 feet deep. Have'nt found any coins to the side of where the house stood or the back yard. But, I haven't spent much time yet where the back yard was. The problem is the same as always with rental - lots of trash, plus the demolition scraps.

Nothing like finding a merc. One of the best looking coins minted...Hope you find many more and hope the weather holds out up there.

I'm looking forward to getting out this spring/summer.
What year do the mercs start?

Any time you find some silver or some wheaties, that's a good hunt. Keep Diggin!!! 8)

Really nice looking Merc, continue to work out the trash and you will be rewarded with some really deep targets on future digs.
