I've been detecting for about 5 months now. Finally found a silver dime at a neighborhood park. It's a 1946 Rosie! I was beginning to think that there wasn't much to be found in Dallas, TX. Still waiting to find a Merc. GO MAVERICKS!
Nice job on your first silver! A little research and you'll be on your way to many more.
Best of luck to you on future hunts. Now get out there and find that Merc! HH!
Thanks all. Actually it's my second silver coin (found a 1942 Quarter a few months ago). Still waiting to break into the 1930s or earlier. Thanks to everyone here for all of the advice.
