***My first coin in the woods!!! Nice 23' Merc. ***Better pix added ***
I went to my farm spot at lunch today. I ventured into the woods to detect. It's nice and cool now with no mosquitoes and hopefully no snakes .
I dug a big chunk of lead close to where I found the musket ball a few weeks back. Then I dug a large wood splitting wedge by one of the dry stream beds.
My best find today by far though was my first old coin found in the woods since I've been MDing this farm! It's not a large cent, Barber, King George coppa, or even a Boy George coppa, but it is:
1) My first coin found in the woods,
2) A needle in the haystack (164 acres),
3) Silver.
It may be only a 1923 Merc to some, but it's about 20 years older than the Mercs I've found up around the farm house. This to me is a good sign.
I had a slight signal up next to a small tree sapling. I thought for sure it would be another shotgun shell head, but at about 8" deep, the Mighty Tesoro found this little gem!
I've been dying to find a coin in the woods, and I finally have one. Ya-hoooo.
Thanks for looking,
MM
