New to MD'ing but doing pretty good so far

Hi Everyone, I'm pretty new to MD'ing and this forum, but I'm officially hooked on both. I don't have a detector of my own, but my fathers got a few and I end up using them a whole lot more than he does. I live in an old house in SE Conn. and my back yard is where I do most of my hunting. Here are pics of most of the silver that I've dug in my yard since Oct. 2004. The 1899 Barber Half is the one that got me hooked and is the first silver I ever found. Not a bad start, huh?
I love looking at the pics all you guys pos and I look forward to posting more of my own.

Re: New to MD'ing but doing pretty good so far

Welcome Eddie, nice finds, it's time to expand the search area a little and see if the neighbors will let you seach there yards too ;D, just be careful not to let them see those old silvers your finding or they will become your competion ;D.

What kind of detector are you using, how deep were coins, etc. We love details!
