MY FIRST SILVER COIN!!!!

[MackDigger]

I got a pinpointer for my birthday on Sunday and couldn't wait to get out and try it so today I went to an old home sight that has given up a few wheat cents and some other cool finds but this was my best day there yet! A 1942 Merc! A old badge of some sort and a old badge of a Plymouth an a meat cleaver. Heck yeah!! I'm so pumped!!!!

Cool finds.

Congrats on your first silver! Although personally, the badge & the Plymouth piece are way more interesting! Nice finds!

 

[MackDigger]

Magnum do you have any info on age of the badge and Plymouth tag? Everything coming out of this spot has been pretty old.

Wow, love the badge and the Plymouth badge cap. Great finds. Congratulations.

A merc is a good way to start.
Keep @ it and HH !!

The emblem is a Plymouth Mayflower Emblem. As in Plymouth Rock / Mayflower. Plymouth Automotive first made the Mayflower Automobile in 1928 and continued production through the 1940's. It could have some collector or restoration value!

Thanks everyone. TwinkleToes you have helped me a few times with IDs and I really appreciate it. That's intriguing considering I love old car stuff and it's in great shape. Any additional info on a year or model from anyone would be greatly appreciated and thanks again.

Nice old Safety Patrol Badge and a great looking dime!

Awesome recoveries & congrats on your first silver!
Your "Captain" safety patrol badge, IMO, is the real winner of your hunt. . . (I'd trade that for a Merc anytime LOL).

 

[RelicDude]

Nice merc but that triple a badge is really cool happy hunting.
