Major Milestone Completed Today! I Dug Up my 500th Mercury Dime! 7 Silver Coins !

[Cool Hand Fluke]

I have posted below pictures of my finds from my last 3 outings. Seven silver coins from 3 different parks! My last silver coin dug today was my 500th dug up Mercury Dime! Believe me, it took a long time to get to 500!
Also found a beautiful sterling silver dragon pendant that was about 5 inches deep. The 1925 Standing Liberty Quarter was about 6 inches deep, it was a big surprise because it was my 2nd SLQ out of this park in two months! ground is bone dry due to our Calif. drought. Once the ground gets some moisture from some rain I will be able to punch down a little deeper. Also dug up 11 wheaties.

Wow!!! What a milestone. I have yet to find even 500 "keeper coins". Nice silver, coins, and relics. Congrats, again.

Wow... awesome... how long have you been detecting?

That's quite a lot of mercs - How many years did it take ?

Since 1985. I was hooked when I saw my wife dig up a 1886 Morgan Silver Dollar when we rented a detector for the weekend on a labor Day weekend back in 1985. ..hard to believe it's been 29 amazing years in this great hobby!

Very good work, you will be scrambling back to that spot when it finally rains! Congrats on 500, in those 500 did you find or get close to the 1916 D?
Nice thread, nice pix!

29 years of metal detecting. That is 17 ish a year. I like the odds. My question is have you ever got one up on your wife after her Morgan find? Congrats on 500 amazing finds. WH

Even after all these years the 1916-D still eludes me. I did dig my first 1921-D last year, so I'm half way there. Still need 14 more Mercs with date/mint mark combinations to get a complete set.

I did! Since my wife dug up that Morgan back in 1985 I've dug 3 Morgan dollars and 1 Peace Dollar. My wife did not last long in the hobby, the pulltabs made her frustrated, she lasted just that one weekend!
