Way to go...my first silver was a merc and a quarter too. I was so impressed to see them lying in the bottom of my plug all shiny looking! Not like all the black or green clad I was used to. Happy Hunting. Dan

You guys really know how to make a person feel good. I admit I was doing the happy dance. I was using the ACE 250. I have gotten use to it and I love it. It's a killer on nickles and the pinpointing does make things go faster once you get the hang of it. The Merc's were about two inches in and the quarter around three. Oh and the Merc's were in the same hole. I believe it was you floater that said always check before you fill.

My first and only silver to date is a 1927 Merc dime so I know how you feel! Wish I could dig silver every time don't you? I have my first silver put up in a medicine bottle with cotton padding and will probably never part with it. Congratulations!
