Went to a permission that used to have a 1910 farmhouse on it. I haven't been there since I got my Equinox so I was anxious to try it out. There is a lot of junk and trash leftover from the house demolition but I have found a few wheat pennies with my 1266X in what used to be the yard. It was so overgrown that it was hard to cover in any methodical fashion but about 15 minutes in , I dug a solid 26 tone and unearthed my very first Mercury dime!
In the next hour, I found couple more wheats and I then got a call and had to go back to work. :mad: When I get the chance, I'm going back with a sickle bar mower and mowing this place down to the dirt. I still have a lot to learn about the Equinox and I figure this place will be a great place to learn.

Now that you've found a merc. dime, that means you are officially a "stud-muffin". You can now join the exclusive club, and learn the secret handshake !
