Not much this Saturday at my favorite site, but loved getting out. Not too cold, about 35-40. A worn out 1918S mercury along with 46 cents modern change. A nice skeleton key and the item on the left is a hair pin. Women wore these in their hair around the turn of the century. Usually they are in better condition. Was fun anyways. Looking forward to next Saturday's hunt.

Love them Mercs, regardless of how many I've dug before or how worn they sometimes are.
They'll always put a big grin on my face. In fact, I went out and bought an Alan Jackson album that had that song "Mercury Blues" on it, even though I am not usually a Country music listener. I had to have the CD because of the line he sings about, "Crazy 'bout a Mercury". The song was popular during my most active diggin' days, and I always played it on the jukebox in the restaurant where I worked at the time.
Besides, your Mercury doesn't look "worn out" in the picture. Worn, yeah, but not "out". If you can read the date and the mintmark, it ain't worn-out! I have some that I can only guess at the mintmark (if there was any), since that part of the rim is totally worn slick! Have some nice ones, too, of course.
Yep, I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury. Found a 1936 in my grandmother's silverware drawer on Thanksgiving Day of 1976, and that started me coin collecting. I've still got that coin today. You might say it was a sign of things to come.

I agree. Any silver is a plus these days. Who would have thought that a Roosevelt in poor condition is worth about a dollar in silver value. We have had an opportunity to hunt an area that was in its prime use during the Barber period. It phased out right around 1916ish, so everything is Barber, with some Seated and Mercs. Lots of Indians too. If you love Mercs try and talk with people or research old newspapers for events that happened primarily during that reign and you should have lots of them. We have another site that should be Seated mostly. If it hasn't been hit it will be great for them. Not often you get that era. It's killing me to not detect as much as I would like.
If only I was born rich like some of these snotty faced Hollywood brats, I'd be detecting everyday!!!
But unfortunately I still have not figured out how to pay the bills without money. Any advice would be appreciated.
But if I become rich, I'd take everyone out to an England trip (so root for me). P.S. I try to sneak out as much as possible, but I think the wife is catching on to me. HH
