Mercury Dime,Indian Head

Roger Mn. · Apr 11, 2009

I Took a road trip to the town of Oronoco, Minnesota today

to do some detecting at the park woods.

My first coin was a 1919-d Mercury Dime in great condition.

An hour later I found the 1905 Indian Head cent.

As I was ready to leave I went to the trash can to emty out my pouch

and looking in the trash can I noticed that another detectorist had left

his scrap metal there . Never seen them since I was in the woods and they

must have been working the grassy areas.

That park was a state park at one time and is a city park now.

I know it's been worked over by many detectorist over the years and

I still pull a few old coins out now and then.

I was in silver mode today because it likes Indian Head cents and they were 5 inches down.

Thanks for looking and good luck.
