Mercury Thermometer Reads 97 - Mercury Dime Found in Heat

It's a hot one in NYC! 97 Degrees Fahrenheit (36 Degrees Celsius)

This morning I decided to go Dirt Fishing and in 2 hours I dug up or pulled up (not really buried) these handful of US coins.

My best find was a fairly neat 1942 Winged Liberty Head aka Mercury Dime - I could not decide which close up picture to post so I decided to post both sets - ENJOY

Nice one, those silvers are getting harder & harder to find.

 

I love the feeling when a nice shiny silver comes out of the ground! When I see the silver ID on my detector I make sure I dig slow and carefully. Lucky it was buried in soft soil in an old grassy area. If it were in compacted dirt it would of been stained (Environmental damaged) and/or scratched up. Truth that I have been finding less silver recently.

 

When I used to find silver regularly, I always kept a pill bottle of water in my pouch.

As soon as I dug it, it went into the water to keep the dirt soft.

then same with Indian head cents, and large cents.

 

Great condition for dirt shopping, good score.

 

"Found in Heat."

Does this mean its ready to replicate?
