After 34 years in this hobby I thought I had seen it all! Today I dug up a 1944 mercury dime that had been turned into a button! I dug down about 6 inches to retrieve this little beauty!

Also dug out a 1939-S merc, a 59 Rosie, and 9 wheaties. All were from 3 different medians in the city.

That Merc dime button is really cool! I would love to find something like that! Congrats!
 

Snob as I am most 20th century silver doesn’t thrill me, but that is freakin cool. Great save.
