My son my father and I went to a permission that I got. We spent about 4 hours on the property and hardly touched the place (it is big). I found a sterling silver pocket watch and my dad found a sterling spoon. I forgot to take a picture of the watch and offered it to the land owner as I felt it had historical significance to the home.
I returned the next day on my own and spent 4 to 5 hours. Theses are my finds. We will be going back to hunt more soon.

Congrats on the hunt - especially the large cent and the merc! :woot: I'm wondering about the object in the center of the third picture. What is it?
 
Its a buckle I think. I found a knee buckle on the first hunt..

Congrats on the awesome finds! Did your heart race as you flipped that Merc over looking for a D mint mark?
 
Definitely qualifies as a "Not Safe For Tom" kind of post! :laughing::laughing: He will definitely bust a spring when he sees this!

What a great hunt and Outstanding finds!

You did flip that 1916 merc over right? Whats the mint mark may I ask? :?: Please let it be a "D"! That will drive poor Tom into a conniption fit!!! He will fall right off his street sweeper and roll around in the gutter!:laughing:

Like others have said....does the merc have a D mintmark? It'd be High dollar then!!!
 
Im sorry to say that the merc is so worn I can not tell if there was a D mintmark. I went back to this site again saturday for 1.5 hours. I found a nice silver coin spill.
