The odds against a capped bust being your first MD coin find are about 5 million to one. That's an amazingly lucky find! Happy for you buddy.

Wellllll, I'm going back out tomorrow with a couple of great Diggers!

No doubt you have a lot of new detecting buddies after posting a find like that and having access to a promising site. Good luck today.

Congrats on a spectacular find!

It took me 4 years and about 45,000 holes to find one.

Very well played sir.

Going to the top of the ladder so to speak in digging great silvers. It took me 40+yrs and untold holes to finally dig one. Congrats on the first of firsts, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's going to be a bit of a slippery slid down the ladder with the next cion producing holes. Then again you may have that horse shoe well planted and the amazing luck will continue.
