Worn barber, mangled merc, wheat cent, and more

[Larbear2]

I went back to the sports field where i had found the buff nickel a few weeks back. Targets are very sparse throughout the field but in the area where i had found the nickel I found a worn 1902 barber dime, a mangled mercury dime (shot with a firearm is my guess), and a 1942 wheat penny. I was using the Legend, M3 freq., 24 sensitivity, park mode, G tab. After leaving the field, I went down the street to an elementary school and searched some grassy areas which resulted in several clad quarters and clad dimes and pennies. I was using the Fisher F70 while searching the elementary school because the battery was getting low on the Legend. Before leaving the school I gave the bark area under the playground equipment a quick sweep. I got a foil signal (22,23) on the F70, kicked aside some bark and recovered a ring that is marked 10kt. So 2 silver coins, some clad (2.72) and a gold ring. My best day in quite some time, GL&HH!

That Barber dime alone makes a good day detecting in my world, the other items are a bonus.
Just three years from the turn of the century, that's getting back there.
In 1902 there wasn't any airplanes flying around, no highways, no cars, completely different world back then.

Thinking maybe the mercury dime was shot by Annie Oakley?
