Not A 1916d Should I Toss It Back?

[kac]

Took the Apex out for a short run in a field that has been pounded hard by many detectorists. Not a ton of trash out there or ton of iron compared to many other spots but enough to slow your pace. Got a solid signal on this 1917 merc in really descent shape. About 4" down. No idea how others missed it. My oldest Merc so far... now if it was a 1916d that would be cooler but no complaints.

Nice one! Cool that you pulled it from a heavily hit spot. 👍

Mercs are the coolest looking coins, in my opinion.

So no, don't throw it back. 😎

That's a good find!! Glad the Apex is working out for You. I always thought that machine would be as good as their others. Now quit BSing and go find some more HaHa. PM Joe D with your last beach find, He would get a good laugh.

16, 17 whats the difference as it's still old.

Great find and glad that you were able to recover it!

Good luck on your next hunt, and if you don't want it because of the year just send it to Joe D.

No! You should not throw it back!!! That is littering post it to me and I will dispose of it for you.

Recycle, rebury for the next generation of detectorists.

Besides, Dirt Fishing Regulation book should be checked to see if's a violation the rebury in your neighbors yard. Might be a non-native species and it's ecosystem being evasive.......................

Difference is one I found is worth maybe $30 which isn't bad and a pcgs 1916d can hit upwards of 10k
