Nothing to exciting, but SUPER EXCITING for me - went out to local park on lunch break (working from home today)....

Some pennies, a 2003 dime and on the 3rd dig a 1964 silver dime about 6" down. As soon as I found it I saw how light colored it was - so happy!!!!


3rd day out ever - been a long winter here in the north east!!!!

Congrats! You are off to a good start. It took me a few months before I found my first silver. It was also a 64 Rosie.

Nice silver! Found my first as well just 2 months ago after a couple years of hunting. It was a 1944 quarter. Still looking for more but nothing yet. Good luck!

Just wait till you find a silver ring!!! Great job! My first silver was a 1919 dime... I didn't know it was silver at the time because I had no clue about coins.

Woo hoo! That a baby! When I found my first one I dug it up and screamed internally. I actually put it back in the hole and pinged it again just so I can hear that Silver tone ring in my headphones.

Dang, that dime is a good one... what with all these congratulatory posts on a 4 YEAR OLD thread!
I'm guessing you've found a few more since then!!
