Nope, that's not the answer for Question #1, though a Merc dime often is someone's first silver coin dug, and I've dug a bunch of '40s Mercs, so...
This. Looks perfectly natural to me.
Good guesses, and both were statistically likely, too. But neither one correct, yet. You may guess again after three other folks have posted...
You're supposed to guess, Sal. Where did you see my answers? Probably in the old thread I just removed. ;) (I'll reinstate it after this...
That's amazing. I'll bet it was a real adrenaline rush to pop that baby outta the dirt! I've only owned one Fugio- a "holey" example, non-dug by...
Oh- if you’re also a detectorist, after you post your guesses about my finds, feel free to also tell us what your first silver find was, or first...

Thanks for the free plug. Hope nobody reports me for spam! :nailbiting: (I did not put the ZM up to that!)
Love it. The first half-real I dug during my detecting days was a 1787.
All right, y'all. Keep your replies to this thread free of politics. I just removed one post that went over the line.
Yes. Holed 2019 Wheat cents are Type 1A. The unholed 2019 Wheat cents are Type 1B....
With only 30 known, it is the rarest LordM swag currently available on the market, so to speak. I only know the whereabouts of perhaps one of...
@ZoidMeister: [ATTACH]
There are also @dwhiz woodies out there!
Whaaa? Wow! Now I need to scrounge up my old wooden dollars and wooden nickels, and the rare, laser-engraved LordM wooden $5 tokens (of which...
Of course. Most of them, in fact. All 277,254,766 coins struck at Philadelphia bore no mintmark.
