Default Beautiful Merc And Three Rings

Decided to try a little yard today about a block away. And man it is humid outside, First hit turned up a helicopter insignia, Probally from Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Another loud blast turned up a brass lipstick, Quarter reading that sounded more like a nickel, Happened to be a ring, with seven little stones. Looks to be gold plated, Another quarter hit turned up another ring, It's sterling but lost the war with the lawnmower, Then the never ending Oklahoma tax tokens, Another deeper signal that sounded nickle turned up another ring, I couldn't believe 3 in one yard It was bent also but very ornate, Don't know what its made out of, Maybe whitegold??? Dug a few wheats from the 40's, Got a dime reading and pulled out a very beautiful 1940-D Merc, Full bands and all, I was playing with the color tool kit trying to get a better PIC for posting. Then by the front porch I dug a deep penny reading, Dug another 1909-VDB, I'll get that "S" one of these days. Enjoy the PICS, I had a good time.

Cool military chopper wings. If you wanna read more about them, check the details of this auction:

U.S. Army Air Assault metal helicopter wings badge - eBay (item 350032295609 end time May-01-08 19:04:39 PDT)

Ebay is always good for this type of stuff.
