My first good find!!!

[MJR5house]

Hello all,

I just got into the hobby in the new year, and have been looking for places to hunt. Tried the beach thing and found trash but had fun. Tried some parks and found trash but had fun. But today I noticed a road near my house that had never been developed beyond pavement, so I got out and started digging. After finding a bunch of strange things (cool trash), i noticed a clearing under some trees and thought... I guess I can hit that before the sun goes down. I was finding cans and nails, And decided that I would only dig one more target and much to my surprise I found my first silver coin, a good looking 1943 mercury dime. I know most of you have found a bunch of these but for me it felt like I hit the lottery!!!! I think a pastime just became an obsession!!

It took me almost 2 years to find my first merc found it 2 weeks ago lol congrats she's in good condition too!!

Congrats on the Merc! NJLARGECENT and I just came to a consensus that it's the 2nd coolest US coin design, behind the Indian Head penny. Welcome to the addiction. You will find more silver... and much much more junk!

Welcome to the best obsession in the world. Been in over 20 years, promise there will be lots more. Just stay positive. HH

 

[LaGold]

My personal favorite is the walking liberty half dollar... But to each his own. But any old coin is great silver or not

 

[Bob-E-Pin]

That's what I'm talking about ! Good job

 

[Chug And Red]

Only 1 here In over three Years!!! Great Find Chug

 

[CoilyGirl]

I'm with Grant Hansen and think the Indian head penny and Merc are some of the prettiest designs in coins.Congrsts on your find and welcome to TN.

Congrats...as you found out the trash bag fills a lot faster than the good bag. Whether it is something of value or not, just recovering items is rewarding.

 

[jewelerguy]
