Went out in the back yard tonight right at dusk for about 20 min's, not thinking I would find anything, and scored my first silver coin, a 1951 Dime.
Also picked up 4 pennies 2 of which are Wheaties - cant tell the dates from the crud, so they are being soaked in Lime Away.
Pretty pleased with a much needed stress relief session tonight.

Thanks - Way to go on your first. Your right about being least expected - turned a pretty bad day into a good one.

Thanks everyone - Now if I could only get my hands on some of that elusive gold. I am going to a local freshwater lake in a week and a half for 5 days (family reunion). The opportunity for finding some goodies is great since the water level is extremely low due to a 5 yr. drought. (We got almost 7 inches of rain over the last 3 weeks, so we are climbing out of it:headbang:) Until then I'm gonna hit the local city parks and see what turns up.

Congrats on your first silver... Took me many years to find my first, a 1943 quarter, but once you find that first one, they start coming left and right.
