1ST POST -- 1ST AND 2ND SILVERS!!

[deepdiggingnc]

What's up everybody! Greenhorn here...a friend and I were at a school built in 1919 yesterday. Had a great time digging up silver and clad coins all day. He started with a 1900 barber dime around 10:00 near the road out in the front part of the field. All clad and trash in the morning for me. After lunch I went for a walk on a small piece of grass on the other side of the school and found my first old coin on the day, a 1944 wheat cent. About twenty feet from the wheat cent I found my first silver coin with a metal detector, a 1926 mercury dime (I've only been detecting for 3 1/2 months). The day was made epic when 10 minutes and 10' away from the merc dime I stumbled over a 1944 walking liberty half dollar! It beeped like a freight train at about 5". I started to grid the area in 4 different directions and found my first Indian head cent, a 1902!! A great day made even better due to the fact that my new AT Pro arrived Thursday. I was using an Ace 300 prior and I'm very impressed with the upgrade I made. What a difference!! Thanks to everyone who posts and comments on this site. The knowledge is priceless! HH

Welcome to tnet great finds I put mine in display cases and keep track of where and when I found them it helps to remember the good hunting spots!!!!! I always remember my first silver another tip if you are new always recheck the hole you get your coins out of many times there will be coin spills Thanks for sharing!!!!!@

1st - I noticed this was your very first post deepdiggingnc - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - Nice finds!

Congratulations on a super hunt. Let me suggest that you order some cardboard coin folders. I always put my silver coins in folders. I then put them in clear plastic sheets that have 12 pockets that are designed to hold your coin folder. The sheets are kept in loose leaf binder. I always put the coin date, the date found, and, (on the reverse side of the folder), the location where the coin was found. I also write a big "FIRST" in red lettering on any bucket listers that I recover. You had an outstanding hunt. The AT PRO is a great machine.
Congratulations again.
