After a lifetime of searching I found my first Silver

[drodda777]

Actually I am new to the hobby. I have about 4 hours total so far with my first MD. E-Trac with X-1 probe was the weapon of choice. Today while digging some clad in the right-of-way in front on my house I had a good signal and dug a clad quarter. After putting the ground back together I went over the plug one last time to make sure I did not miss anything. I got another faint signal. so I pulled the plug back out and removed more dirt. At about 9" I pulled this dime out of the same hole. Gotta love it when a clad quarter masks the silver dime. Many firsts on this one for me as I am new and have had my machine a little over a week. 1st silver, oldest coin to date 1945-s, 1st double coin in same hole. This morning I had about a half hour while waiting for an appointment so I thought I would try out my E-trac in front of the house. I just finished Andy's book and had made some changes to the settings on the E-Trac. I dug 11 holes and reteived 11 coins and one button. But this is really the only good one for me.

SO far I am up to $4.42 in clad, one hot wheeel, a river boat token, one button, A lead ball/ bullet, and this 1945-s merc.

need to work on my close up picture taking skills. The date is not that washed out in person.

HH,

Dave
