Picked up 2 Merc's today, 1941 in good shape and 1932 in bad shape after a 3 hour hunt at an old (circa 1930's) abandoned house nearby on 3 acres that's listed for sale.
That makes it a 2 out of 3 silver streak after scoring that 1880 Canadian dime on my first time out.
Pictures to follow when i get a digital camera with macro.
Thanks for all the advice and support on the forum - and of course thanks to tonyc for helping me with the original set-up.
The more you use it the more you get the feel for what the good targets are...though still digging some junk - mostly the mid range stuff hoping to find some gold jewelry....
