mercury dime

Just started metal detecting this spring. Not much success yet at local parks etc., but still having fun with it. Finally found my first silver - this 1918 Mercury Dime, from the distant far-away lands of the USA. Found it in the small patch of grass in my Toronto backyard, about 4" down...

Hello all, Just got my first hunt in of 2017. Had a little break in the action here at flight school so i decided to hit the dirt and see what i could find. I was using @tnsharpshooter 's advice with my set up. I started by making a new program with the XP Deus with the following perimeters i...

Hello everyone. Excited to be a part of this forum-- looking at your finds is exciting! Im 22 years old and hunting in Ohio. Found an old MD in my garage a few days ago... a bounty hunter gold digger. Spend about 2 hours digging up nails, but the thrill of the dig sucked me in! I collect...

Got out for 2.5 hours this morning and finally found a silver. I had been on a 2 month dry spell, so I almost didn't recognize the silver when it came out of the hole! Anyway, it's good to be back on the silver. Also got a great 1-44/1-48 signal and thought I finally found big silver...

Have been getting skunked with the MD, so decided to get some coins from the bank and try my luck with some indoor coin hunting. I definately got lucky with this box! BTW, I haven't found any silver halves in almost 3 months. Was getting 4-5 per box for the first three months of the year, now...

Hit 41 degrees today. Found a nice soft spot to dig and came up with a 1924 Mercury Dime plain, 1948 S Rosie, and a 1938 S Wheatie as the keepers for the day. Was like digging in late March. Gotta love these warm spells. :D

I had today off so I decided to hit my newly discovered honey hole. I am gridding out sections of the field and working each zone slow. First, I got a nice gold tone and number on the E-trac. I cut the plug and turned it over and discovered a religious 10K gold medal! It weighs in at 3.3...

I went out to my favorite found spot that i have already pulled several old silver coins and Indian heads. Yesterday i found my first true Silver 1917D Mercury Dime (the other one a 1918 i found was turned into a Punch out ring). Today i found my 3rd Barber head (2nd at this location) a 1908D...
