pleasant suprise....

I went back toy the high school hill today looking for clad and hopefully a ring... I only had an hour to hunt... its getting dark so much sooner now days... anyways... I started finding the clad as expected... pull tab signals everywhere... as I started moving down the hill further away from the /school it got quieter and signals were far and few between... then I got a dime/penny signal 4 inches down... I was thinking cool another clad dime... but in the back of my mind I know most clad here is only an inch down... so even though I wasn't thinking silver I knew it was possible even though i have never found silver... then as quick as I got the signal out popped a 1917s Mercury dime! I was ecstatic to see silver here! I knew it was possible but I wasn't expecting it... I was so excited and happy to see it! Its like finding a $20 bill you didn't know you had in your wallet... well I wasn't expecting much more than that and I was happy with that... but 10 minutes later out comes a 1935 Mercury! The happiness continues... I knew it was possible now... and out comes a 1947 Rosie! At this point I was more than satisfied with my 1.5 hours of hunting time... 30 minutes more than I planned... well silver does that to you...

Thanks for looking...

P.S. It still baffles me where I find unfired bullets... remember this is a high school... I think its a 30-30.

Other finds include merry widows tin insides of a pocket watch 5 clad dimes 6 memorial pennies... and one modern pocket/stop watch which I have never seen one like it.

The land some of the schools I hunt are on used to be old farm and pasture land. I've found a few unspent cartridges there. Haven't found anything recent though. Yours looks a bit older. Maybe the school was up after the shell was dropped...or maybe it was brought it from some fill.

Nice silver. The Mercurys look real good.
