I went hunting at the beach on Tuesday and found only 2 quarters a dime and a wheat penny. Surprised to find the wheat penny at the beach. Then went to Balboa park and hunted the area's in the brush between the trails found mostly trash, a large bullet and then the detector hits a dime signal. Since it read only 4 inches down I figured it was a newer dime. Boy was I surprised when the mercury came out. the first thing I saw was the wings. My heart almost stopped then I jumped up and yep I must admit I did the happy dance. First silver coin for me ever it is a 43 mercury. It has all ready been added to my keepers collection. Besides that I found a few dollars in clad. Went out again today to different park and pulled in another 1.42 in clad. Just goes to show skunked one day and on high heaven the next. Gotta love this hobby. HH Ted
