but much to my dismay it wasnt the elusive denver mint mark, there was a quick moment of hope because the coin was covered in dirt, a quick gentle wipe proved I hadnt found the holy grail of merc dimes. It was still a good tough find, this beauty was nestled deep between the sidewalks edge and giant root, I had to wiggle the coin side to side to release it from its resting place. when I started to dig and felt the massive root I removed all the lose dirt and could just barley see the silver reeded edge the coin was lying totally vertical, its a good feeling seeing some silver, I have been in a touch of a dry spell so this was a good day for me, I also bagged a couple wheats. The year as been a bit slower than I would have hoped,this makes the fourth silver coin and 36th wheat of the year, I hope it picks up or I find a good demo site to hunt soon my town is getting real slim I need a new site to pound.......
