You might as well retire the detector because you aren't likely to top that anytime soon. Congrats on an amazing coin find. Unbelievable that this was your first coin find.

Haha, Screwey's comment is hilarious, but true. Or at least I hope it's NOT true. Most excellent find and I hope you find many more early US silver coins

Great find. Dont listen to others. I got 2 half dimes last year and im not even a coin hunter.

Your off to a heck of a good start!

Had to come back and ask. Has the addiction kicked in?

You must have misunderstood my comment. The part about the well wishing and such. Hopefully the OP understands

I still waiting for that first bust coin after over forty years of semi-serious detecting. I couldn't be happier for you! Now go recover something even better.....

Beautiful old coin and congrats! Seen one dug, but haven't dug one myself yet.

Yeah, that's special. Good luck topping that. I got my first this year as well, wasn't even in my bucket list cause I never thought I would dig one. Very nice find

That's one heck of a first coin. Welcome to the obsession from an Ohio coin shooter.

I think you get the award for "most ridiculous first ever dug coin". Seriously, that's amazing for anybody to find even after years of searching. Congratulations
