My first silver find ever!!

Now, I know this is not a super rare coin or anything... But to me it's priceless! 1937 mercury dime... First silver coin ever.. Took me 7 months to finally find one! Found with Garrett ace 350

Great find!! I had found DOZENS of clad dimes, possibly hundreds, and the first time I popped a silver Roosevelt out of the hole and seen the bright, shiny finish, I knew I had finally struck silver! I know exactly how you feel. And then..after calling my friend to tell him about my find..I had covered my hole up, not knowing what I had missed until I did a quick "sweep", and got another solid signal...from that same plug! I had forgot to re-check the hole, and upon opening it back up and digging 2 inches deeper, I pulled out my first Merc!! My first silver, first Merc, turned out to be a small silver spill. Thanks for sharing!! great stuff..ddf

thanks! I was really thankful it was a merc that popped out! I would have taken a silver Rosie but a merc just made it even better! Now I'm looking for silver washington

I remember my first silver....two silver quarters 1944, 1945 stacked atop each other. great feeling. priceless....I love the mercs...I popped one today from under a nickel with the Ace 350....how deep? mine was about six inches but i was after a nickel at four inches...the merc was a surprise in the plug.
