'41 Merc
No work today = Mding
Even though this Indiana weather sucks right now (high 56), I had to get out and dig. I'm ashamed to admit that this whole time my comptuer was down, I did not go detecting once..I know, somebody slap me. I did find a 'new' older park to hunt and found 2.07 in clad and a '41 mercury dime, was not expecting to find that, it was right under a teeter-totter barely 2 inches deep.  and found a '89 Canadian Penny.Now the other little object under the merc (see photo below) had me going for a sec...at first I thought silver because it came out so clean, then I saw a head on it and thougth ohhh a cool old coin, but after spitting and rubbing more dirt away I believe it is from a charm bracelet..its very thin. It was one of those..."Could Have Been" Moments. Ok thanks for looking  Oh and I'm including a picture of my favorite climbing flower thingy I planted 7 years ago.....It is so pretty this time of year! findsof52008.jpg MyFLowers.jpg
