It is the year my mother was born. Dad in 1920. Now I'm hitting retirement age. I've been detecting since I bought the Equinox 800 and the oldest coins I've found are 2 1944 Mercury dimes and a 1944 quarter. They're coming. I can't get out as much as I used to. Take care, y'all.
I haven't been detecting for long (less than a year) and I'm still looking for my first silver. Been hunting around a house built in 1902 and I've found a few wheats so I know it's possible just haven't found them.
Living in the state of Washington State, it's hard to find silver let alone a mercury dime. I've been hunting now for 3 years and only have a few Rosie dimes. Both my parents were born in 1919 and it would be a great memento. Love watching you guys.
I remember my first metal detector that I got and still have. It is a White Beach Comer, the first coin that I found was a 1944 Merc. I have it in a small shallow box hanging on the wall with a small sign with the date that I found along with a picture of me pointing where the coin was in the hole. I was so proud. Congrats to you and Gary on your finds. Keep on digging those beeps.
My 5 year old granddaughter got her first detector for Christmas. If I had it, I'd draw up a treasure map and we'd follow it to the spot marked X. She'd have her first TREASURE 😊
Based on my own experience with the Manticore, you now have to re-visit any site you've ever hunted. I continue to be impressed with the finds I'm making that I somehow missed with my army of previous Minelabs. Continued succcess men!
Glad y'all got the manticores now! Been running one for a few months and just now really getting the hang of it. Gotta get the m8 coil, its crazy good. overall its a beast of a machine! Good luck to everyone with the mercury dime!
excellent videos look forward to more with the maticore, coincidently my grandfather was discharged from the army in 1919, that would be a excellent addition to his shadow box!!
Aww those dimes are awesome. I find mostly men do this but I love the hobby too. My hubby and I watch your videos together. I like your music too. Hope you select me for the dime.
Love your show, I found the exact coin here in Australia at world war two Australian amry training camp with the manticore the only difference was I didn't sign it, keep up the great work, cheers.
Older Jefferson nickle usually come up 23-25, but those new ugly buggers come up higher 28-29. Good luck hunting with the new machines, I would love to have one of those as well, Someday hopefully I will. I noticed someone saying they would do a treasure hunt with your “signed” coin for their granddaughter, I think I would do the same with my grandson. He loves to watch videos with me, and go metal detecting.😁
Boy, I hope I haven't missed it. I would absolutely love my favorite coin to be signed by you. That's 2 major bonuses in one. Keep up the good work guys. Because I love to watch y'all.
It would be my honor to accept a signed merc by Mr.John him self. Love the videos been watching for a while! Keep up the good work I’m still trying at it myself!
The Manticore loves silver coins. I bought one recently, and dug 3 silver dimes in 3 short hunts! I look forward to watching more videos of you guys swinging the Manticore. Happy hunting!
It would have been cool to see some of these compared to the equinox and the deus 2. Just to see if it's the machine that made the difference, or just missed in previous hunts. Great job though guys!
Hell yeah! Put my name in the bucket for the personally autographed Mercury! lol. And, many thanks John for going over the Manticore - was looking at this one on your site.
Glad to see you are using the best machine out there. I’m just kidding I’m sure the D2 is a good machine I’m just not a fan of screen and menu on that one. On manticore if you get in heavy iron turn down sensitivity to 20-21 and you’ll know it a square nail. I’m sure you knew that already but when I first started using it I would be running at 25 and above and it falses bad from halo effect on iron. The vdi numbers can be all over the place. I dug a barber dime that rang up at 63 but had two square nails in the hole. Dug a cart wheel penny at same number and it had five nails in with it. Those things are huge. Should have rang up more like a large cent at 90. I love manticore!
I'll take that merc! Lol. I went on my first hunt yesterday. I found my first pull tab🥇, ancient beer cans and a mystery copper "thing". No buttons, bullets, or coins though. 👊😂 I love your channel. Keep digging!🙂👊❤
I've always loved to go metal detecting in America but unfortunately I'm in new zealand in heard that America has huge silver dollars that are called morgan dollars and it a pretty epic coin #cheer bro 🤙happy hunting 😀 👍
Sometimes we hit our targets by mistake, the real joy was that you found what you located!! Awesome channel and excellent content. Your signature Mercury Dime is one more silver found!
Welcome to the beast club boys! Gonna need about 50 hours to train your ear and then you can confidently call your type of coin. Don't worry too much about the numbers or the ID. Depending on the dirt you're in, the numbers will fluctuate wildly. The best part of the Manticore is its separation and ability to find upright coins. It will make all of your old sites new again! Enjoy :) SB
I love watching your videos. I am 66 and I used to in the early 80s love going detecting. I can remember finding a 1918 Mercury head that was dropped right after put in circulation. It had mint luster. Keep up the good hunting.
Greetings from northern Michigan. Great video. I always like watching you guys. Don't feel bad, we have all signed a coin before. I use the manticore also. Great machine. Keep up the good work.
All the minelabs with the 116 number vdi have a wide variation on diff types of coins but silver they're within two or three numbers consistently. Generally on my machine 84-86 is a silver dime sometimes worn one have been as low as 78.
Glad you had a good hunt. My channel and videos disappeared l, but I was able to use my name. But I lost all my subs. I will be going out after this weekend and pop up a video same day or next. Love your channel and everyone in it.
Awesome video love seeing more people trying out the manticore seems to be a real beast Would love to have a signed Merc by John You guys are awesome guys to watch thank you for all you guys do

Love my Manticore. It has brought some of my old hunting spots back to life
My very first silver find metal detecting was a 1923 Merc. I love them.
Thank you gents for your continued entertainment!

Don’t you just love the surprise silver find that pops up unexpectedly!!
Aww those dimes are awesome. I find mostly men do this but I love the hobby too. My hubby and I watch your videos together. I like your music too. Hope you select me for the dime.
I wish I could find silver like you guys do. You guys always find some. I love it.
Nice silvers ! Nice hunt. Be careful digging dimes.
Love your show, I found the exact coin here in Australia at world war two Australian amry training camp with the manticore the only difference was I didn't sign it, keep up the great work, cheers.
About time u guys got the Beast. Get ready to hit all the old spot again and be amazed.
It’s always a good day when you can get in some fishing AND detecting…. Congrats on the silver!!!

It would be our first Mercury Dime! Dan & Lynn
The 1919 would go to my granddaughter, she is learning about coins. Thanks again guys!
I'd love that mercury dime John, thanks.

Nice finds. Signing one getting it out is better then not finding anything lol
I started metal detecting last season, and my first silver was a 1919 Mercury dime I dug out of my back yard! So sick!
A silver dime is a silver dime, I'll take it scratched or not! Thank you and Happy Hunting!
The Manticore loves silver coins. I bought one recently, and dug 3 silver dimes in 3 short hunts! I look forward to watching more videos of you guys swinging the Manticore. Happy hunting!
Great job guys...1919 dime..beats fishing..
I would love to add that merc to my book! It would mean just that much more that one of you guys dug it. I never miss an episode!
Great hunt for 2 hours!! A silver.....is a silver!! My signed silver from you will be in my book with your name on it!!!
It would have been cool to see some of these compared to the equinox and the deus 2. Just to see if it's the machine that made the difference, or just missed in previous hunts.
Great job though guys!
That’s the year my dad was born. I would love to have a signed silver coin. Thank you all for the opportunity to watch your videos.
Great hunt awesome finds I love mecury dimes I have been lucky to have dug two God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Love those mercury dimes. I’ve been watching you guys for a while now up here in New Jersey,keep the videos coming.✌🏻🇺🇸
A mercury dime signed, sealed and sent from y'all would be awesome. Y'all are a joy to watch.
early bronze compisition wheat cents give a lower number then later made wheats. great vid.
Been watching for a few years. I’d like that dime with the shovel kiss.
1919 Mercury Dime, signed, would be awesome!
Yes! I love mercury dimes!
Hell yeah! Put my name in the bucket for the personally autographed Mercury! lol. And, many thanks John for going over the Manticore - was looking at this one on your site.
great to see the manticore, might get one of these from you soon. thanks Tom
Found my 1st mecr back in February at a park I've hunted lots of times, 1937 no mint mark😊 great hunt guys congrats!
Great video. The Manticore is definitely gonna be up there with the 800, if not better.
Even a bad day fishing is a fun day out. But you guys made it even better by going metal detecting and pulling those silvers out.
Glad to see you are using the best machine out there. I’m just kidding I’m sure the D2 is a good machine I’m just not a fan of screen and menu on that one.

Great hunt ! Always looking forward to your videos !
With silver going up I’d sure like to have another silver. Especially one with a story behind it
