Went out with Doug and my wife Diane today, back to the spot where yesterday Doug and I got the silver and wheats. Very windy but warm. Doug opened up with a Rosey while I was getting some wheats. Diane called me over and said look at this…there on the ground was the prettiest 1941 Merc you will ever want to see! In was in a muddy bare spot on the ground. I can only surmise it was just barely covered and the intense rain we got yesterday washed it out of the ground! She also added a wheatie to her finds. I kept finding wheats at as little as 1†deep, and memorials at 5†deep. Very different type of site. Diane and Doug were about to call it a day but I wanted to finish a spot where I was getting many wheats in hope of the elusive silver. Doug was meandering around the area when he got a good signal and dug another Rosey. I did get that one more wheat to take my total to eleven. While I came up short in the silver I did do double digit wheaties. The Merc that Diane found would be I believe an AU grade, with full bands on the back…just a mind boggling find!
