Old Silver out in Texas

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Finally was able to get out and do some " Normal" hunting with a buddy of mine out west...Pulled up to some lots that seemed promising. within the first 10 mins he was on a good Wheat spill...not a few mins later out popped this beauty.

1918 - D Merc Dime. First silver coin I found this year..which is still hard to think about.

it was pretty toasted when I found it...ive slowly been able to clean it up to see some detail.

Beautiful coin find!

Nice find! To think that that dime likely was in that spot for close to 100 years boggles the mind. The Mercury dime is one of my favorite coins, and I am still waiting to find one. Looks like you did a good job cleaning the ol' girl up. Congrats!

Congrats Pulling a silver still makes me smile, I hope you smiled when you first knew what was in the hole.

That's an old merc. I found one that looked pretty tarnished like that today. Congrats!
