Default Very rough merc.

got out with Danback today for a bit.we searched the old school hopeing to find some silver.I found a pile of clad,1956 dime,5 wheats,sterling ring,an old pocket watch,and the worst looking merc. i've ever found.I dug just 3 trash targets as i was trying to find just coins(darn screwcaps sound off same as a coin)

Forgot to mention i also found a small compac.I was hoping that it had somthing hiding in it but i finaly got it open and all it had in it was some gooy red gunk.Also heres some before and after pic's of the ring.It was pretty much flat when i found it.

A bad looking Merc is better than no merc at all.
That looks like a old ring to me.
