Went out for a bit this morning. Was at a county park for about 5 minutes and got my first signal. Remember how you felt when you saw your first silver peeking out of the hole? I was ecstatic. Pulled this 1960 rosie out. Spent about 3 more hours trying to find more. Dug some clad, the usual trash (bottle caps, pull tabs, can slaw, modern spent cartridges). I was getting hungry and tired so decided I had enough for a day and headed back to the blazer. I got one more signal and when I pulled the chunk of lead out with the help of my pointer, I remember saying "OMG". Because of the wealth of info I have read on this site, I knew what I had. If not for TNet, I would have dismissed it as more trash! I have no caliper so haven't measured the bullet yet but it weighs between 29 and 30 grams. Is a real chunk. Can anyone date it for me? I love it! First silver AND first 3 ringer!
