Some of you guys know that I'm in the process of having a driveway installed up to my barn. The contractor had to remove the topsoil in order to put down a good stone base.
I had about an hour before it got dark so I decided to swing the coil over the excavated soil.
My first signal was a toasted wheat penny. After about an hour, and a few trash targets, I got a sweet, sweet, signal that had the promise of silver. I dug a nice clump out of the piled soil and went to work with the pinpointer. Oh how nice it is to see the unmistakable rim of a Silver coin. She's a little worn but she sure is pretty. A 1919 Mercury Dime. This dime is my 70th Silver Coin this year.

Love the title. I don't blame ya, might as well harvest the coins before it's carted off. I mean, that's what we do...right :dontknow:
 

Go ATW go. That’s the way to do it.
 

That’s freakin’ great!! Nicely done! Makes me think of how I’d love to scrape the top three inches off some of those old NYC parks....... Man what we’d find [emoji54]

Congrats and HH
 

Nothing like getting silver and copper off the door step. Well Done!
 

Wow...you don’t have to go far to hunt! Just out the door and their she is, a sweet merc! Congrats!
 

WTG ATW! And you said one of my favorite phrases...SILVER RIM...O how I love the combination of that "sweet sweet" signal and then unearthing that ever elusive silver rim. Now I have visions of you climbing in that little earthmover and scraping the topsoil off your entire yard...Ddf
 

That is one serious stone base!

Way to take advantage of your driveway project. Yeah, it is your dirt!:laughing9:
 

I ride around the concrete jungle thinking of all the lost coins hiding, nice work brother!
 

ATW, when the Lord delivers sweet manna right in your own yard...priceless. Congrats on the MURK! Sub 8-)
 

Congratulations on the nice save! :occasion14:
