My brother called me tonight and said he got permission at one of the old oil mansions here in town (NW PA). The place is a hotspot. We hit it for about a hour and we pulled over 30 wheats combined. He found a couple on top of the ground. About 45 minutes in I pulled this beautiful Merc. It seriously looked like this without any cleaning except a couple firm swipes with my thumb. My brother also found a killer bank coin from Lamberton National Bank, if any of you research pros find any info, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Great permission and finds. If possible I'd hit that place until there was not a signal left. Congrats!

Congrats on the silver. I found a bank token nearly identical to that one but for a bank here in WV. Couldn't find much history on it but I think it was a promotional token. Mine was for Union National Bank which was started in 1905. Good finds!

Congratulations

Congrates on your first silver coin. A mercury dime is a great start. Some silver coins come out of the ground looking pretty good, not like the clad stuff. Thirty wheats and only one silver, doesn't sound right? Today I dug 3 silver dimes and nine wheat.
HH everyone
