WWII Merc Dime & Civil War Minie!

Went out hunting this week with my buddy Rebelyell68 and watched him dig minie ball after minie ball! Toward the end of the hunt, I finally got a strong 80 signal on my ATMAX but it kept bouncing back to 50 and 60s! Started digging and to my surprise found a 1943 WWII era Mercury Dime in great condition! Satisfied with the find but just for curiosity sake checked the hole and got anther 60 signal! Got out the pin pointer and pulled out a fired 3 ring minie in the same hole! Good day when you can dig one hole and bring home two nice relics!
