1st silver and 1st 1890's finally

Hell-o I have been detecting for about two months and found only $3 in clad. I am trying to learn my whites prizm iv. I find lots of iron and nails ect. Today I went to a old work buddies house and pulled out a 1943 merc, a no date lib quarter and a 1890 nickel.. WOW finally good stuff!! It's cold here in Illinois, about 30 degrees The house was built in the 1900's and a rich doctor lived there. After he sold it a alcoholic painter bought it and used to throw all his bottles under the barns crawlspace. I can;t wait to get in there. Love the website and the pics.

Welcome to the forum gal and congrat's on your find's..Just think about how many time's that painter stumbled up the stair's(or down) or fell in the yard with a pocket full of change...
