Hi Hank,

Congrats on the Mercury dime, I'm guessing that this is the first silver with your Golden

 

[Grubber]

Hank,now the golden is for sure your favorite detector!.Hombre it is not nice to give greenhorns a hard time here,so it's his first silver,give the man a break,his detector has been overloading!

If one were to really think about it,why so many silver dimes being found?.Simple,silver dimes were so easily lost due to being very thin,heavy for the thin small size,hard to hold on to compared to other coins.Perfect example,some fifteen years ago i went detecting and found a nice mercury dime and went to my mothers house and my sister was there and said did you find anything,so i pull the shiny merc out to show my sister and she reaches for it and in a spilt second slips through her fingers down into my mothers newly refinished couch.We looked in ever small spot under,in,you name it.Never seen it again.These small silver dimes are just hard to hang on to.Grubber

Hi Grubber, did you run your metal detector over your mother's couch to see if it could find the lost dime? I'd bet your detector could have found it, I wonder if your mother still has the couch, maybe you could still find the lost dime, would make an interesting story!

 

[Grubber]

I think so Hombre,me and old dad will have to take a look.Mom past on and this would make a good story.She loved that couch to,that is why i didn't tear it to pieces to get my prised mercury dime find.Plus i got the detector pro pulse induction pinpointer.I will check it out thanks.Chucky

Good Job Hank,

I started detecting before there were personal computers and the internet was only a spark of thought in Al Gore's brain I know how to and have found some great coins and jewelery. I just ain't too computer savvy to post up pics.Keep up the good work, nice Mercury dime
