Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 7:30 pm I went back to where I found the Barber dime two days ago. This time, I had two hours to hunt the steep, wooded hillside on the other side of the river. While wandering up and down the hills, sort of swinging in random spots, I found six modern coins and a nice 1941 Mercury dime. It is amazing to me how many coins get dropped in the woods. This was the first hunt I can recall where I did find a number of coins but didn't dig up any pennies. I ended up with two clad quarters, three clad dimes, a Jefferson nickel and the Mercury dime. Here are photos of the Mercury and the spot on the hillside where I dug it up. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 7:46 pm There is a path at the top of the hill. There are benches up there so it may be a newer one. I like detecting the hillsides and any old looking paths going down hill. When I found the Mercury I was just following the hill down and not working any visible trail.
