I Found my first Silver Coin today a 1941 Silver Mercury Dime. I'm fairly new to Metal Detecting & Coin collecting can someone tell me the Value of this coin and is this considered in pretty good condition?

Sweet coin! Looks like it's in pretty good condition. Unfortunately most of the 1940s Mercury dimes aren't worth more than a few bucks, especially dug. Worth far more as a great memory than a coin dealer could possibly offer.
