I am convinced I will never find a mercury dime. It is number one on my wish list. Someday, I hope.

Nice finds!

Awhitster finds them, You can too. The way you MD you will find Mercury dimes when you don't expect it. Tell him Awhitster, it doesn't take any skill at all.

Tell him Awhitster, it doesn't take any skill at all.[/quote]You are absolutely correct Big John. I don't go out looking for Mercs. But I do go at times to where I have a better chance of finding old coins. I go to parks and dig clad and have more of a chance of finding a ring. I go to an old spot, house, easement etc. and maybe not find much $$ wise but more chance of finding the old coins. Swing, ding, dig

Way to go bro. I know I would be finding some of that "old" stuff too if I could just get myself out of the parks and quit digging up all the clad. But hey, I've found a bunch of rings and other jewelery lately for doing that so it's a trade off.....

 

[Uncle Willy]

Hey that's great. They are scarce as hens teeth around here. Think I've found one this year.

Otherwise, I would much rather have a old silver coin than a silver ring or junk kid ring anytime. different strokes for different folks.
