The merc still eludes me but....., +Marine button + Fincks

[Fourman110]

1890 ' s home again. Last signal before heading out was a bouncy 81/82/83 signal. I was only a yard or so from the 1 800 ' s v nickel I found a month ago. Thought I'd might as well dig it, though suspected can slaw. I've been searching for a merc for 2 yrs maybe the 11" coil and new settings would bring one home. Flash of silver in my dirt pile a (on the towel). Heart starts racing.... nuts! Missed it again . 1913 Barber dime. Still freaking sweet to find my oldest dime to date.

Also found a 1940's wheat, US Marine Corps. button/rivet ( I wonder what it's from), a Flinck's button (hard to see but has pig on it), and a junk earing.
