First silver finally on the board!!

[Hondo]

Ground has been pretty hard around here lately but thawed just enough the last couple of days for me to get out and try out my new AT-Pro which came in the mail on Wednesday and I have been going batty waiting to get out and dig. I ran it in the yard several times and marked where some likely signals and today decided to try and dig a few.

Second signal was an 82 on the meter and 8 inches down. After a good deal of hacking through the frozen upper crust, out popped this beautiful silver Mercury. It's my first and I am pretty stoked, even if it might be a bit underwhelming among some of the banner stuff that has been going up on the forum lately. The awesome thing is that I have pounded that yard like crazy for months with the old Bounty Hunter and never got a single signal in that area, and found this inside of 2-3 minutes. Think I will really like the Pro!!

Thanks for taking a look, gonna get back out there and see what else awaits!

Congrats on your first silver. No, it may not be a banner find, but who cares? Finding silver is always great no matter how long you've been detecting or how much you've found. I've been detecting for 35 years and still get a charge out of finding any silver coins. I've also heard that the AT Pro is a great machine so it looks like you're in for a good season. I won one at our club Christmas party last month and was thinking about selling it, but decided to keep it as a backup for my CTX 3030. HH.

Grats on the first silver! Mine was not a merc but a rosie and it was back in the 80's in an area that has been redeveloped so I can't really get to the same spot any longer. HH ALL
