Hello!

I met up with Richard & Ron this morning to do some detecting! Ron let me use his Explorer SE while he used his E-Trac. It's a fun detector to use ~ but it's kinda hard to get use to because I'm so use to my White's XLT. Here's what I found today:

1945-S Merc dime
five wheats ~ 1918 to 1958
ten clad dimes
30 Memorial cents
(NO nickels)
(NO clad quarters)

Not a lot of treasures, but I still had a great time!

The Merc dime is my silver coin find #104 for the year. I took pictures of it before and after I cleaned it up.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Congrats on the merc Neil............interesting to read your account with the SE. Do keep in mind that the II and XS pack a similar punch at a very reduced cost.

Nice finds. Did you see if your dime was of the "micro s" variety? hh blue

Thanks!

I looked to see if its a micro S ~ but it's not. I did find a 1945 micro "S" Merc just a few months ago though!
