First Silver Coin

El_Bandido · Nov 2, 2007

Hunting with my Dad yesterday. I found my first Silver Coin on my first relic hunt. It was a 1937D Mercury Dime on an old WWII Military Base. We could only hunt for about 15 minutes but we are going back soon for a full day of hunting. I also found a brass key tag with the number 6 on it.

That's my boy. Teaching him well. He got about 20 mosquito bites for that old dime so the bug did actually bite! We will have to use more Deet next time.

Well done! And let me be the first to give you a HEARTY, Treasurenet welcome! I look forward to seeing your future finds. That's a beautiful dime.

Nice Mercury dime. Great coin for your first silver. Way to go there. There's no turning back now. You are hooked for sure.

15-Minutes

Just think if you had 45-minutes

Happy Hunting!

I like silvers and I like mercs. You found both soon. I still remember, and you will too, my first merc. The U.S. is full of mercs. I always say that Merc dimes are gods gift to metal detecting. You will be finding Mercs 40 years from now. Good Job!
