1846 and my First Silver Coin!

[100acre]

This house was built in 1846 and was built near one of the earliest thoroughfares in Western NC. I got permission from the owners whom apparently have mutual friends of mine, Awesome! I brought along my little elf helper and a buddy. They found some clad and a few older pennies. I found a green Quarter two pennies and my first ever silver Mercury 1945 D. So excited I finally found a silver coin. To anybody else it has an approximate value of $1.50. To me, it's priceless!

Congrats on your first silver coin. Now tell your wife, if you're married, that you're going to be busy on weekends for the next 30 years :-) It's an addicting hobby and the more your find, the more time you spend detecting and vice versa.
