My First Silver Coin!

[Inspector Comet]

I've been at this since fall of last year, and have found a medium-sized-jar's worth of clad, and a small dumpster worth of junk. I've mostly been hitting parks and apparently I'm not the only one. Looking forward to getting some permissions soon. Anyway, oldest coin I've found so far was a wheatie from 1937. Then, in a section close to an early 1900's house, I found SILVER! A 1937 Quarter minted in Denver, to be precise. I've found a couple silver rings but really wanted a silver coin.

Also found yesterday: a prosperity gospel token, aluminum with some guys name and address on the back. Maybe I should mail it back to him. Or glue it to my Simplex? It's power got me $3 of wealth yesterday...
Other coins found yesterday will be added to my clad collection.

All that to say: I'm really excited, and you all will understand that more than most. Had to share.

I started detecting in '81 or '82 and found lots of silver in town. Live in the country now and started detecting again after a 20 yr. break. Waiting or my first silver so I know the feeling you had finding that one. I hope it's my turn this spring. Gary

There's nothing like the feeling of your first silver coin, and that rush doesn't go away as you keep finding them. I remember my first and it was in 1991. Continued success to you!
