Its been a brutal winter here in WNY, but we're finally seeing a little bit o dirt to dig in.....
I've only managed 4 silvers this year, and oddly, they're all mercs.

Today I went out hoping to capture something cool on the new pivotheads.
Well , I recorded a few digs, but all the finds are just below the field of view....oh well, something to keep in mind for next time......
This item below sounded a bit rough, I thought I may have a deep dime....but dime#5 is gonna have to wait.....
If anyones an expert on these things maybe you can give m an estimate of its age please.
oh , no mint on my merc as far as I can see.....its pretty worn.....bummer..

thanks for the info so far.....
So, maybe close to 100 years old eah......I guess I'll take that over an average merc.....
 
Very nice silver thimble. Those are collectable and kind of rare find for us. Havent found one yet. A great goal!
