Went for a couple hours this evening and the first dig was the best with a 1926 Mercury Dime.

Nice hit on the Merc.
It seems to happen so often the first one is the best one of the hunt. But I still hang in there hoping that there's even a better one, its kind of like getting sucked down the rabbit hole believing it might happen.

I went last Saturday... P@tch scored a Merc in the first hole... Five hours later, that was still the only silver coin. I believe it is a jinx if the first hole has silver, but I believe in ghosts, so don't pay too much attention to me.

Well done sir!
