Old pounded to death yard gave up a bit of silver..!!!

[Tired Rooster]

Today was a very good day. Went to an old site that has been beat and pounded by every detector within 50 miles for several years now. One of those "hunted out" sites for sure. Well, it has been hunted really hard, but it gave up a little bit of silver today. All the easy stuff is gone. Had been there about 45 minutes and pulled a 1939 Mercury dime out of a heavily iron trashed area. Also found a copper plate piece that reads "Anhydrous Ammonia NATIONAL Trade Mark". I don't know what that is yet. Pulled two copper pennies, one clad and one modern nickel. The silver mercury was the highlight for sure. Long time since I've found silver and was very happy to see it. Very enjoyable afternoon.




Thanks.

Congrats! It's a great feeling to find silver in those "hunted out" sites!

Worn out sites are nice but not as pretty as your merc, congrats.

Congrats on sniffing out some silver on a beat up location

That's a very pretty Merc dime. Like the copper plate too. Good job pulling some silver from the iron.

I love when that happens. Just going in a new direction or using a different coil can breathe some life into a previously pounded site.
