After three years of living here, in what was for a brief time "The Republic of West Florida" //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_West_Floridain Louisiana, I am beginning to get permissions to some large acreage sites.
After seven years of detecting and never once finding a silver coin, I got out of my car at a 100 year old plus site about 1/8 of a mile from my house, took no more than ten steps and got a coin signal. I'm used to being disappointed.
I almost passed out when this merc shone through the dirt of a very shallow plug. When you see a silver coin, you immediately know it's silver. It's just different.
This one has great detail. Believe it or not, a day later I found another one, quite worn from 1920 something. NOW I understand what the fuss is about.
