My First Silver

[StevePa]

Well, I returned to the picnic grove that I had found 5 wheat pennies in earlier this month. I had another good, smooth blip on my whites 6000. I dug through some tree roots and lots of rocks until I reached 6 inches deep, just as my depth meter indicated. I scooped out a handful of dirt and ran it across my loop with a blip. As I slowly let some dirt out of my hand, I saw the bright silver shine and knew immediately it was silver. After only two weeks metal detecting, I found my first silver. A 1923 mercury dime in pretty good condition. Boy am I hooked.

Nice find man....My first silver was a 1923 Peace Dollar...talk about finding something to get you "hooked"..that was all it took and now two other guys from the area and myself go detecting just about every weekend.

Have fun and Happy Hunting.
