That's my boy. Teaching him well. He got about 20 mosquito bites for that old dime so the bug did actually bite! We will have to use more Deet next time.

Nice Mercury dime. Great coin for your first silver. Way to go there. There's no turning back now. You are hooked for sure.

Hunting with my Dad yesterday. I found my first Silver Coin on my first relic hunt. It was a 1937D Mercury Dime on an old WWII Military Base. We could only hunt for about 15 minutes but we are going back soon for a full day of hunting. I also found a brass key tag with the number 6 on it.
Congrats and hope you find many more.

I like silvers and I like mercs. You found both soon. I still remember, and you will too, my first merc. The U.S. is full of mercs. I always say that Merc dimes are gods gift to metal detecting. You will be finding Mercs 40 years from now. Good Job!
