Big John and myself met up at the old city park that has been producing all the Mercs. After hunting for about an hour and two rain storms and some hail, we decided to head over to the second oldest park In Boise. It was raining for about an hour, so we sat in his truck and chatted and patiently waited for the rain to stop. I offered a wager of $1.00 (we often play these silly games) for the first to find a silver coin. First couple of targets we hit were a couple of wheaties. John then found a 1955 Netherlands quarter. I then ran my 6" DD coil over a few big trees and got a good quarter hit about 2" from the trunk and dug my first SQL only about 2" down!!!! It was a 1920-S!! 
I did the happy dance. :spin::spin: I then found a 1940's Boise Bus Company token. It went dry for us for about an hour. Then as I told John that we had to head home, he dug the most pristine and shiny 1943-S Merc I have ever seen in my life!!! Looks like it was dropped not a day after it was minted!!!
The jury is out on who won the buck. The 1955 Neatherlands quarter may be silver.
Thanks for stopping by and HH!!!
