Early morning hunt gets me my first silver coins of the year

[Bruinvikes]

Got off from work earlier than normal and decided to go on a two hour hunt. The hunt was slow going until I find my first silver coin of the year. About ten minutes later I find my second! I also found a couple of wheat pennies (1913 and 193, a 1971 Kennedy half, some clad, a couple of tags and a real cool badge from 1900. I'm trying to research the badge but I'm not having much luck with it. Someone suggested that it might be a bicycle license. That might indeed be what it is, but I want to know for sure so I will keep researching it.

Nice Merc's. Couldn't coerce Google into finding anything out about your tag but, agree probably a bicycle registration tag.

Two silver day is great! Both dimes look to be in excellent condition.With finds like that I'd definitely be back in that site the next chance I got.

Thanks everyone! I just had a friend contact me about the badge and he seems to think that it's a chauffeur's badge. What do you guys think of that possibility?

Looking good! I think the chauffeur's badge theory is solid! Love the Merc duo!
