Congrats on the Merc. Just about the coolest coin minted. The button is very cool as well. I know it's pretty bad, but maybe electrolysis will bring out some more detail. Well done.

Thank you! I would try electrolysis but there is already some chipping happening and I am afraid it will make it worst.

Congrats on the Merc and button aj. The Merc is in great shape. The ground here is dry and rock hard also. Gonna be a long dry summer. Good luck. Mark

Thank you Mark! It is in great shape, always nice to find something that you can be proud to put on display. Hoping to get out today after yesterday's rain but I gotta see what plans are today first. I have some mulch that needs to be put down.

I read your post yesterday and got the itch to go detecting, even though it was in the 80's here in VA. Found a 1935 Merc(my first). I guess you brought me good luck! LOL

Oh I understand. Sometimes you just have to not do anything, Great find though.

Thank you! I have now changed my ways when I come across a 70 or higher VDI.

Great job! Digging those iffy signals can definitely pay off!
