Finally found a silver coin. Its been a long time, looking at the daily finds here just makes my want to find them more. This is my first merc and I love it.
I found it at the local school. I have hammered that place, its hard to find diggable signals anymore it seems. I'm down to digging pull tabs and other bad signals in hopes of uncovering good stuff. I was going over a spot I have been over many times and said out loud to my self " there is no signals to dig anymore" 2 seconds later BAMM good signal 4-6" down. I dug it up and split the plug. Looking at me was the most beautiful sight.... The silver ribed edge of a coin. Pulled it out and was in shock at what I found.
This is for all the others getting frustrated... Don't give up! Persistence pays off!
Side note- I don't know why my thumb looks bruised. The picture freaks me out.

Congrats on the merc. Looks like it's in great shape.
Silver is always welcome.
 

Congratulations on your first silver coin.
 

This past summer I had the good fortune to find 3 silver dimes. After 6 years of digging and over 50 silver coins later, I still get that thrill as if it's my 1st. By the way, my first silver coin was a 1950-D Washington Quarter that was in excellent shape. Congratulations on your 1st silver coin.
