Mercury kind of day

REAL_RAT_FINK · Dec 11, 2017

I live in an area that was the tiniest of towns until 1980, so finding relics can be a serious challenge. Not that I don't like clad, but the old stuff is most fun to dig up. Did a quick hunt today and netted another Merc! 1945 S and probably the best condition merc I have pulled. Also pulled $2.56 in clad, 4 wheats 1946S, 2x 1944, and a 1920. Dug a tie pin which my wife said was really creepy looking..... Hurd/Bargman Detroit Mich key, fake gold ring, and unknown object. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!~

Sweet! I really like the look of that Merc just the way it is!

Fantastic hunting, congrats!

You have some pretty nice finds there.

When I get a silver sprinkled with wheats I feel quite content.

And then you got a bonus with that tie pin (or whatever it is). It's pretty cool looking you got to admit.

Cool finds!

Nice job on the Merc, sure that "fake" gold ring (or earring) made your heart stop for a sec....

First post! Great forum.

Wow. I just found 5 Wheaties (1918, 1945x2, 1949, 1954), a 1943 Merc as well as that exact same key yesterday. Bizarre!

I think the key is either for an Airstream or a 1950ish Ford Truck (from what I can gather).
