Hello T-Neters :D
These are my finds from the past few days and from several different locations. One of the places James invited me to. I met up with him and a couple of other guys at a place in Munford, Alabama. The other dudes were Don and Eddie and we all found silver. Don found a silver ring, James found a silver quarter, 2 dimes, and another silver coin(Filipino I think), Eddie found a coin or 2 and a ring, and I finally found my first silver coin. :hello2: It was a 1964 dime but it was still silver. :icon_sunny: James and I went to another site the next day and I found a gold plated woman's ring with 3 diamonds(probably fake) and a wheat, a couple of buckles, and etc. We found lots of clad, wheaties, nails, pull tabs, and other stuff but regardless of all the junk, these past few days have been great. I met some fellow detectorist, some land owners who turned me on to some new locations, and found some neat stuff. I can't wait to go again. I think I could have found more but a lot of my time was spent talking, especially with the land owners but that's part of it.
Happy Hunting everyone, ;D
Ed
P.S. Besides the dime, my favorites were Picture 4(the bottom of a flashlight) and the metal tag in pic 5.

Now that you've found your first silver coin there's no turning back :)

I'm sure that's one of many the detecting gods have in store for you this year.

Hey Mike,
It's amazing! I have found a silver cross ear ring and a silver ring but nothing compares to a silver coin (except gold)

James- I'll call you tomorrow.

Nana- You're more than welcome to join us anytime.

Rd2nowr- Munford is in Talladega County.

QUICKSILVER- I was wondering how old the flashlight piece is? ???

To all the above and everyone else, thanks for the comments and for checking my stuff out and good luck to you all.
