Found this in the yard of an abandoned house about a half mile from home, 4" down! Only had an hour to hunt will definitely hit it again next week! My first dug silver coin!!! Its pretty beat up, but its silver and by far my best yet!!

Thanks guys I'm gonna try and go back in the morning! I guess I got the silver fever!!!

Well done. I find detecting like fishing. You can get you biggest fish on your first outing & then take years to beat it!

Very Lucky start, I hope it continues. 8)

Excellent find. Cool and congrats.

My first silver was a 1960 rosie, I was happy as hell to finally dig silver.
A Barber Half, WoW!

Good luck,
HH.
