I hunted a park that Guvner and I have HAMMERED over the last couple of years...and it has a very NASTY iron patch.
It's uncovering something like this that just simply makes me stop....shake my head...smile...and say THANK YOU MINELAB.

Yes the rare bust coin find is great....seated coin finds are great....big silver is great. Heck a couple wheaties are nice...but finding something in this manner is the biggest part of what it's all about for me. As I began to uncover and remove the muck...I realized how LONG this iron piece was.

Next to finding the peace and solace I search for....and the precious dime around my neck...a find like this lights up my face like a Christmas tree...and I'm a little kid all over again.

Because this little silver critter was engulfed by the iron...it gave off just a tiny sweet warble through the dead null. I was creeping with the SE though as I always do...so the warble sounded through the silence.

Just a very common and simple Merc but it was buried under the iron. I'm stoked... because it's easy to see why it was walked over for all those years....PLUS it just looks COOL.
