I gotta chance to get out for a few hours today. I went back to the park that has given up my last 3 or 4 silvers. Today I was able to find a very worn or :confused: flattened 1910 wheatie lol Also found a 1896 IH <: This park has been pretty generous with keepers at quitting time. |:confused:) Today was another nice surprise, Just steps away from the truck I gotta weak 11-40, 12-41, (only a single beep in each direction) at about 4 inches and I said to myself It could be a wheatie? Either way, last hole. So I dug down to about the 4 inch mark and stuck the PP in the hole and while swirling it around in the hole I seen SILVER!! :shocked04: :happydance01: Out pops a 1917 Merc! :happydance01: True to form after sticking my new found treasure in my pocket, I reached over and powered down and headed for home! :beerbuddy:

That is a great few hour hunt Tim. You have been doing very well at that park.
A Merc, IH and early wheat would have me smiling all the way home.
It is a sweet sight seeing the first glimpse of silver in the hole. :smitten:
Definitely some early dates on all of your coins here.
Congrats friend.

Nice little hunt indeed! I love it when those green cents come out of the hole, that means they're old. :yes:

Very nice looking Merc too! Gotta love it when silver appears in the hole!

Congrats on the super hunt! :clapping:
