Default "Hear, Hear!" a Tost is in Order.

My First Mercury (1935) Yup its True.
It comes on a day where I got off to a slow start not finding much and digging several slag targets.. ugh. But after lunch and a new spot a tone that kept bugging me, it kept reading +82 but mostly it was reading in the dime range, 78+. I been already having a day of digging what seems to be dimes and quarters; only to be something larger deeper. Although heading to lunch I had picked up my clad count and was hitting quarters. Guessing I had about 3 bucks at lunch.
Back to the Mercury; I had passed my coil over it about 5 times or more listening to it. Heck I wasn't even thinking Silver..I was just trying to figure out if I wanted to pull a plug down 5 inches for a dime/penny so close to the side walk and people passing by, ugh~ Swung my coil over a few more times waiting for people to clear. I dig a plug and one quick check with the pin pointer; yup I got a tone, a quick scoop - it pop'd out Glowing..
I let out a sudden Yeah~ Thinking it was a barber dime, <-rookie)

I was lucky I didn't hit it that would have been a bummer.. Pretty Fun day, I was using these new head phones that ending up being a good tweak to my game.

here are some pictures, kinda crazy where I found it so close to 80's landscaping.
