Default Cold digging, but I scored a Merc!
Got this coin today at a local park.
It was about 3-4 inches down.

First silver of the year!

I am a new member from Michigan and didn't think you could break the ground without dynamite. I guess the new guy learned a little more today.

That 50+ degree day really helped loosen up the soil.
In amongst the trees, the ground is a bit softer.
