Quick 2 hour hunt nets silver

[tomharris76]

Went hunting with keystone37 this morning for a couple of hours at a house built in 1916. He got permission through a coworker. My wife had to be at the salon by 11 so we didn't have much time before I had to go perform my daddy duties. Anyway, got some clad and an old spoon. On the way to the truck got a little broken chirp and figured might as well dig one last time. I was pretty surprised to pop out a beautiful 1939s merc. Must have been on edge because it was only about 2" down but didn't sound that great. The spoon is interesting too. On the back it reads Extra coin silver plated. I've found a lot of spoons and never come across that before. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Nice Tom!

Really sweet Merc!

But I'm a little more curious about the spoon. Can you read the back of the handle? I think it says something about Coin and Plate?

yes , I talked about it in my post. It says extra coin silver plated. I've never seen it before but there are a lot of examples on ebay. As a matter of fact I saw the exact same design spoon there.

Great condition on that merc Tom!
I bet that spoon could be reshaped easily too.

Looks Like your Silver finds are Improving late in the year, I need to atleast get One Silver In the Next 5 months.. or two more indians will do!!

Yeah, nothing all year and 3 consecutive hunts with a silver coin. I really hope this keeps up.
