Found My First Silver ! ! !

[Silvergurl]

[Made a tiny amendenments to post] Finally found my first silver! Been a couple days, I had to let things "percolate" in my brain. I went out with TreasureFiend, Goio and Tmanfromtexas hoping to break into some Silver already. Originally, Kermit wanted to hit this field but when we arrived there were festivities planned or underway. So we knocked over into this somewhat hunted field where he felt that if there was ever silver or goodies to be found Goio and Tman would find something. Behold, Tman was the first to find Silver. After a while, even then it was deemed a rough spot so we trudged over to another nearby field where I came across the usual; clad and a Wheatie or two. [Thanks guys] Upon learning a few tips or tricks of the trade I was able to come across my first silver!!! A little nudging from Goio and I was digging, then I had Kermit help me dig because I kept coming across rocks or busted up old parking lot/concrete bits underneath, and popped out a Wheatie. After checkin' the hole with the minelab pinpointer, and almost digging half way to China or sideways a bit, out came that shiny gleam. I actually RUBBED the silver for a moment, forgetting that it was TH cardinal sin and read "1895" to the guys only to hear em' go "D'ohhhh". [Beat out TF by 5 years, as his oldest Silver was 1900 ] Which I would have never found with the help of Tmanfromtexas and Goio!

Baby im so happy that you joined the silver club and joined in a HUGE way!!! My 1st silver was a 1937 merc so yea you beat the tar outta me!!! And as you pointed out, my oldes silver is a 1900 Barber quarter.... When we were standing around you when we heard it was a Barber quarter we were like no way, then when you said 1895 we all lost it!!!!!! Not only that, but its also an "O" mint!!!!! YOU ROCK BABE!!!!!!

Congrats on the Barber. I just started MD-ing this year too and my first silver was a 1907-D Barber Quarter, also here in the Chicagoland area with an ACE 250. I watched the video as well. Very exciting. That first silver sure makes you hungry for more though. Good luck.

I just started only a month ago dirt diving, and know the feeling of the first anything important. My first silver was a circa 1600 right in front of my house (I'm in Europe), and I was only just practicing. Then a gold ring a few days later...then it's been as dry as a bone, but that will be remedied in just the next swing, or the swing after that, or maybe tomorrow...But it will come.

CONGRATS! the first silver is one you will never forget. I am sure the reason you got so lucky and made that find was the cool shirt ya wore!....... AC/DC....cause dirty deeds were done

I live out here in the Calif desert in a ghost town. I jump for joy if I find ANY silver. Oldest I've ever found was a 1912 dime. Way to go,girl!
