It was a damp unusually cool morning and my body was fatigued from my nights labor. As the sun awakened from it's slumber, the dew glistened off the grass while the birds spewed their melody from just below the heavens. I made my way heroically.......awe never mind. lol
Just kidding. I wish I had a great story but it was in my front yard along the boulevard. Just got a set of headphones for my detector and wanted try them out. I did find a high powered rifle casing about 6 inches deep which I thought was odd. I live right on Main street of a small town. Not sure why it was there.
That's the best story I have.

#1 Congratulations on your first silver! You'll never forget it. #2, Main street was where? Back in the past? You may have a great spot right outside?

Nothing special?? My first silver was a 61-D Rosie, that I scratched! I wish it were a Merc- great find and here's hoping there's many more in store for you!

Most of us have a pretty high opinion of the "merc." dime - So that is actually a special find , and as your first Silver coin
found metal detecting - even more so .
