Nice digs! There's something about a coin as worn as that Merc... they feel nice between the fingers and it fun to think about how many hands it might have passed through. Congrats!

Nice variety of finds! A little of everything :) Esp like the 5 cent token I'd like to know the history of that... I think I'll Google it.

Don't you love hunting in the rain? lol

I carry lots of rags to 'continually' wipe the mud off my gloves/digger/pinpointer... Sounds like you're an addict like me :cheesysmile:

Oh yeah! :yes: Now that's hard core! thumbsup01
And it payed off! Some silver a buff.
And one of my favorite things to find....old trade tokens!! :drool: :smitten:
Just think next March or April when it's 50° :thinkingabout: We'll be out there in T-shirts and thinking it's summer again! lol
Keep after'em! thumbsup01
Nice finds!

Donna, you got yourself some good keepers there. You and your brother have been killing those fields, keep it up
