So last Thursday (May 7) I found my first silver coin, a 1963 Roosevelt dime while hunting with Carolina Tom. Quite honestly, I didn't expect to find another one for a long time since I haven't really been doing this for long and am still learning my ATP. But, as luck would have it, I was wrong! Two days later I was back out with Carolina Tom, we'd been hunting for about 15 minutes when I heard a nice high target...low and behold it was a 1936 Mercury dime! Here are a few pictures, thanks for looking.

fantastic!, you started a storm!!
many more to come
 

Doesn't it seem odd that all of a sudden you have started finding silver coins... two in three days no less, when prior you had not found any at all. It almost seems like something is going on...

Congrats on a nice coin. Does Carolina Tom have a hole in his pocket when he hunts with you?
 

Nice Merc! The ATPro is really good on silver, I'm sure you'll be finding more very soon.

Hey Q4... Here is a pic of me "seeding" the field. I fill the hopper with silver coins, take a couple of spins around the hunt site, then next thing I know... Kurt seems to have found silver... odd...

I'm pretty sure you're just seeding the inside of your pants with that!
 

Nice...you're heading in the right direction...another week and it will be Capped Busts!
 

Kurt it doesn't hurt hunting with a charter member of the Charlotte Silver Mafia they have all the good places scoped out and ole CT is among the best.

What CT is not saying is that seeder if full of pull tabs and screw top and only 1 silver dime. Then Tom tells Kurt to hunt seeded area while he hunts the back of the house

Kurt if after 30 years you happen to stubble across a really good find be prepared for Tom to use the Charlotte Silver Mafia influence to strongarm top tnet hunters into inviting him and a bodyguard into their top fields. You'll notice this as he flies first class to all parts of the world and comes back with more luggage than he left with. If this happens invite him to a site you knows holds absolutely nothing and tell him this is the Super Secret spot you found your item. This should return him to earth especially after the other members of the CMS give him a hard time for weeks afterwards.
