Well its been awhile since I been on here. Still doing the mding and all just never had any thing to post till today. All started Saturday after sitting in the dark for 8 hrs do to a massive power outage in Harrison Co. So I headed up to the in-laws to do there front yard. Didnt find much just clads so I drifted over to the neighbers house that was up for sale, built in 1900. Well I couldnt pass it up so I started by the curb and worked up to the drive way. Glad I did thats when I found that Ben 1/2 and those two IH cents.

Then today headed East with my good friend Mike M. to do some small towns that was on the map and not on the map and detect for a 1-2 hrs then to the next. (hit and run) lol. Just glad that I stopped in this one lonely town that had a small park that look old and was the only one that we saw. Pulled out a 1919 wheaty, 1916-S merc (The small heart attack when I pick it up and saw the date and was afraid to flip it over), and a 1914 Barber dime and some more clad. Not bad of a day. My buddy Mike just got some clad and no oldies at all. My totals are.

2-IH 1899 and 1905
1-1916-S Merc 10c
1-1914 Barber 10c

I enjoyed your Post IAsoldier. :icon_salut:
Thanks for sharing your treasures with us. I'm a special fan of Mercury Dimes,
because I possess a 1945 example, I found in NZ, through a Lucky Strike ;D

Nice hunts, congrats!! I bet when you saw the mintmark on the '16 merc you thought "is that an S or a D?".....stupid S. :laughing7: Nice Franklin half and injuns and such. :icon_thumright:
 
Didnt find much just clads so I drifted over to the neighbers house that was up for sale, built in 1900.

So just to clarify, did you have permission from the neighbors to hunt their house?
