42' Merc and a few copper pennies

Took out my new to me SE Pro for the first real hunt. Found a few copper pennies and this Mercury dime! Silver does have a sweet "warble" on the Explorer!

Oh the sweet sound of silver on an Explorer or Etrac.... Looks like it rewarded you well this time, Walt. :)

Nice Mercury recovery! Yes the explorer has a beautiful sweet song "warble" when silver is under the coil. May you hear it often!

42' Merc and a few copper pennies

Thanks guys! They seem to be the only silver I am able to find but I love seeing any shiny silver in the hole! The funny part is this was at my mother in laws rental house which I could have hunted anytime for the last 10 years, but never thought there would be silver there. I was there picking lemons out of her backyard and just happened to have my detector in the truck. I only hunted a small spot in the driveway and found 4-5 copper pennies, a quarter and the Merc. I will be back tomorrow with a smaller coil!
