Deep worn merc got my heart pumping!

detectorben · Nov 9, 2019

I found this worn mercury dime about 10 inches down under some roots. This is in a park located in small town dating back to 1850s! The dime is very worn and when I plucked it out I saw the D mint mark first. Then saw what I thought was a 6 but turned out to be an 8 lol. 1918 D merc dime. Later hunting a yard in the same town I also found my first spill with a merc stuck to a wheatie which was pretty cool.

Check out the video for the somewhat embarrassing live dig of the 1918 merc lol. Thanks for looking! HH!

Nice finds, and hope you get that 16-D Merc some day!

That 16 D is very elusive, although some people find them.

I can understand your excitement with the Merc Ben. I'm sure your not the first nor will you be the last to could through that experience. Still some very nice hunting. Congrats! Trapper

For sure. I had a great time even though it wasn't a 16d. Thanks!
