Hello!

I got out for a little more than an hour today during my lunch break. Went to an area that I hunted in the past, but I figured that there would be something left to dig up. I dug an old toy car, some clad, and 4 wheat cents, but at first I left several surface targets in hopes of finding the better deeper stuff. Then I went back through and started digging everything . . . . . . . one target was a clad dime at about an inch deep . . . . . after removing the clad dime I noticed a better sounding target . . . . all you MineLab users know what I'm talking about . . . . that sound of a deep silver coin! It gets your blood pumping!! At about 5 inched directly under where I just dug the clad dime I found a 1942-S Mercury dime! WOOHOO!!!

This Mercury dime is my silver coin find #93 for the year!

THANKS for looking!
Neil
