Hubby and I hit up a empty lot where houses used to be back in the 1920s. It was really dry since we haven't had rain. After about 45 minutes and only a penny found I was thinking someone beat us to it. Just then I got a clear high signal and dug up my very first Mercury Dime and next to it was a wheat penny from 1916. My oldest wheat to date. I was elated. I kept going excited about the prospect of finding more silver. Searched for another 30 minutes and found nothing but trash. I was about to give up when I got another strong signal. It was about 6 inches deep. I dug and dug and finally unearthed a beautiful, shiny silver quarter! I couldn't believe that I found my first silver and got 2 coins at that. I was really sick with a sinus infection and the heat about killed me, but it was worth it! 20180812_222840.jpg 20180812_222930.jpg

That sure looks like you'll have a whole lot of motivation towards your next hunt! Sometimes you go through long slumps. Out of a 4 hour hunt today I found one quarter. At least it wasn't 2 zincolns again!

And then you find something nice - looks like you sure did today! Over two years is a long wait for silver coins! You've broken through the barrier now, and congratulations!

Looks like it was a good hunt Queen. Congrats on your first Merc, and silver. Thats one way to forget about a sinus infection.

Treasure! I'll bet there's more there and after a real good rain would be the time to hit it again. Congratulations, get over the infection, and thanks for sharing.

Said the doc, "here, take this metal detector. Find two pieces of beautiful silver and your sinus infection will be a distant memory."

Great couple of firsts for sure! Congratz

It is amazing that in this hot, humid weather that the rush of a great find and the rush of adrenaline can cure fatigue, make the heat bearable, and generally re-invigorate an already tired person...Nicely done.

GREAT finds, and GREAT persistence!

That would really make my day but I always find just one for some reason. Congratulations on finding beautiful silver and BIG silver on one hunt. Great job on not giving up. [emoji1360]
