Went with my mentors fr3nchy_ _, Dan_ _ _ and our buddy Augie. After Dan and Justin have emptied my honey holes they finally took me to a topsecret artifact producing chunk of woods. After Justin found 3 oldies in 1 hole 3 feet from where I was 10 minutes earlier, I was bound and determined there was NO hope for me or my method. I went back to where I was getting down and dirty digging on a roofing nail and a real beauty of a square nail, a odd sound came thru those headphones.. I knew it I had found any metal detectorists dream, A keg of square nails!! WRONG just my first ever Silver.. A real beauty of a 1944 Mercury Dime. A Great day thanks boys!! Gonna do it again on the west coast , rite?

WTG man! I am really happy for you. That is the first of many! Your hooked now. As Spartacus said I kinda stated in my post that My bud found his first silver. I hope I did not rain on your parade too much. LOL! Great find. It's in great shape too. We will definately do some huntin' on the west coast too. Cant wait!

Awesome find bro!, you out did me that day all i found was that musketball! I'll take a silver merc anyday! We have many more detecting days to come, and more silver and keepers to find! The look on your face was priceless, you had a nice silver twinge in your eyes! Definately been bitten by the silver bug now! Keep your detector coil to the ground and happy Dirt Fishing!!!
