Oh Man That's Not A Merc... Seated Surprise!

[Sooper Dave]

[size=large]Went out this morning to get a hunt in at a place I've been having good luck with on silver. It's an old school that was built in the 30's, so my finds haven't been older than that. I have gone over the place really well but was trying to go over areas I haven't been. It was slow going and after two hours I was ready to go when I decide to hit a spot close to the road. Lots of trash like deep cans. I had got a good signal that turned out to be junk, a few feet over I got another great signal and dug out a nice silver dime. I have found about a dozen Mercs from here and was hoping for another one. As I looked at it closely, I spotted the arm of Lady Liberty! After taking some pics I carefully rinsed it off with water to reveal this beautiful 1890 Seated Dime! What a great surprise and what a way to end a slow hunt! HH Dave[/size]
