One Toasted Piece Dollar & 1944 Merc

[yardgoat]

While waiting for the snow to melt in the mountains, I went to the local high school to get use to using my new 13" Detech Coil for the MX Sport. This school has been pounded but I did manage to find a toasted piece dollar at 10" and a 1944 mercury dime at 5". The Silver dollar came out coated in some hard black substance with what looked like straw, I found out that area that I hunted was the holding pens for livestock back when the area was used as the fairgrounds in the early to mid 1900's. Hey first silver of the year.

Nice going on the big silver, and the Merc.

Don't feel bad ATW after hunts dirt for almost 50yrs I've yet to find one either.
