Yesterday was my birthday, so this weekend is all mine to detect! I went down to America today and detected a spot I detected at least 20 times with the ATPro, I couldn't wait to try the Deus. I was amazed to find these coins, many of them were quite deep, the first Merc was a full ProPointer deep.

The second Merc brings me to 250 silver coins since I started detecting in 2010. My goal for this weekend was to break 250, and I'm happy to do it with a Mercury dime!

Hey hey hey....that's not a nice thing to say about vacuums!

So J, wha'd you do with all the silvers?

Like fishing, I threw all my silvers back "catch and release" style. It's only humane, and it guarantees I'll get to 500!

I save all my silver, no matter how insignificant it is, had I found a seated spill with a crummy shield nickel, I would've tossed that crap in the river:laughing7:

congrats on the 250th silver that's an achievement to be proud of. I am sure it took hours and thousands of holes to get there.
