Both nickels are 64's and I also got a very ugly 40ish wheat cent. A few of my lincolns are from the 59-64 range, so I bet there is more silver in that park. Lots of trash, but I am digging deeper and clearer signals with the new DD1400.

1 Wheat
4 Quarters

Whooohooo!

You broke the ice. Now there will be plenty of others.

WTG!
 

Congratulations
 

Congrats, man!!! There's nothing like your first silver, ok, there is, but this is a family site. Nice work!
 

Way to go, Fossis....................
 

nice find, if you didnt find it somebody else would.
 

A merc is a merc. I've been at this for almost 7 years without a merc. Congrats
 

Nobody dropped that sucker! They threw it away! Still Silver tho! Pretty neat finds! WTG!

Hey Storm, way to go on the first silver. I think its beautiful and am really happy for you. Sometimes all it takes to get the ball rolling is an ice breaker. I predict plenty of silver in your future....and the first thing I'd do is hit the heck out of the spot you found it. By the way, I'm still waiting for my first merc.

I'd take it and put it in my firsts collection!!

Great find I can't wait till I can rellish in that same league!!
