Well I was in need of a pick me up so I went out to the woods by my house. It was an old Boy Scout camp back starting around the 20's and lasted thru the 60's. I have found 5 other mercs there. I wanted to try my SE on some deep iffy signals. Well the very first iffy that I got was this merc. Then my 2nd iffy was my wheatie. I also found some old junk to, but not bad for an hour's worth of work. Both the merc and the wheatie were down about 9 inches, and they bounced side to side like a good iffy should. I want to get back out in the woods soon, but it is a major pain with all of the tall grass and the saplings all over the place, man I can't wait for fall when everything starts to die off. Its almost too much trouble but I am a glutton for punishment. LOL Thanks for looking. :thumbsup:

I love Merc's, nice find. :thumbsup:
 
treasurefiend=HARDCORE!...............kudos :wink:
 
still waiting on my first merc..yours sure is pretty..awesome find :thumbsup:
 
Glutton for punishment? Sounds like me the day I found that large key. I was out in the blazing sun for 7 hours. Loved it though. Nice merc and wheatie. I'm sure there's more there. :icon_pirat:
 
I wish I could find a merc every time I needed
a "pick me up"! Nice finds.
 
Hey Fiend, nice work!!

Another gorgeous Merc rescued from the dirt-pit and allowed to shine again! Nice wheat, too. :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, sometimes detecting is a pain (or I should say the conditions) but you gotta satisfy that silver fix! :thumbsup:

Couple nice looking coins.

Thanks guys!!!! :thumbsup:
 
WTG Fiend,Glad to see you finding silver. Hope you find more. :thumbsup:
 
Very nice job on the silver dime and the wheatie! I just wish I had older area's in washington state to start testing my SE out on deep silver. Great job! :)
 
You've been rocking on those Merc's :thumbsup:

And you're right about all that overgrowth. . . once you start hunting the woods
and finding the oldies, it's hard to stay out. I guess we'll all have to wait it out
until fall :wink:

Take care,
