You got to see this! Two silvers in...

[JimDon]

I was hunting in old homesite when I dug a pocketknife. I was about to put it away when I noticed something strange on the blade. I rubbed it off and saw a silver reeded edge then another. I was able to see the date on one hand is a 1936 Merc. it really makes you scratch your head.

Nice--it really gives you a pretty good date on the knife....probably fell out of his pocket with some pocket change stuck in it. Cool find!

Super cool! I'll have to pay more attention next time I dig one!

That's cool. I would leave them in there.

That's funny because that actually used to happen to me a LOT when I carried a pocketknife.

Good catch, JimDon! You never know what could be lurking in a hunk of rust.

I love those kind of finds! Way to go, I like finding pocket knives I just wished they held up better in the dirt. Never found one with any coins in it. Congrats
