Second outing with Explorer II

[Farmercal]

Poking around an old school getting memorials here and there at about 5 inches and then I got a suspect good/bad signal using the standard coil. Decided to try the 5 inch excellerator and went back to same spot and the signal sounded good this time. Pinpointed exactly and look what came up! I know it isn't a barber, but I'll take settle for a mercury any day. The first pic came a little blurred but I haven't tried to use macro photagraphy before, guess I'm still a newb at digital photography.

Don't you just love the look of the Mercury Dime! I sure do and especially when they come out looking like that and in great shape. Full bands shows that it wasn't long after in circulation that the coin was lost and lucky you just happened to find it and bring it back from a long resting spot. WTG!!! Good Luck and HH. Make sure you hit that spot again. I am sure there is more waiting there for you.

Any day finding silver is a good day. I still think the Mercury Dime is the most beautiful coin minted by the U.S. Gov. Nice find and it's in good shape also, Congratulations Farmer

Thanks James. You know the funny thing is it was only about 4-5 inches down. I know other detectors have been over the front yard I was hunting but they never saw that merc all these years. "I" even hunted this area before with other detectors and never saw this coin. I think truly hunted out is impossible, as there are too many variables.

Nice find, Yes, Silver is always nice to find. Keep it up and I hope you find many more.
