Garrett Ace 250 (10x14 Excelerator Coil) Garrett Pro-Pointer
I've been hunting with my crappy Radio Shack Bounty Hunter for awhile now, and all I've found to this point was non-silver change. Today I happened to be hunting an abandoned auto body shop from the 60's and right out in front of the main entrance, I found my first ever silver coin. It is a 1942 Mercury Dime! Hooray! ;D

Congrats on your first Mercury dime!
 
Really nice CONGRATS!! That goes to show you that any detector is better then no detector! ;)
 
Beautiful dime...They sure are fun to find. Welcome to Treasure Net
 
sweeeeeeeeet !! great first silver.... ;D ;D ;D
 
Welcome to TN, and congrats on your Merc dime.
Were there any old cars still inside of that body shop? ;D
-MM-
 
Yes there are some old cars in there
 
Congrats on your 1st silver...hope you find a lot more...might be more at that auto shop. GL and HH!
 
Gret Merc! My favorite coin! The merc is the most common silver you will find. Thats OK by me as I also think its the most beautiful coin ever minted. I am reposting my mercs from last year as an incentive for you. GO OUT AND FIND MORE MERCS! They are everywhere, regardless of what everyone says!

Wow. That is quite a lot of silver. I think my favorite coin might be the Walking Liberty ones. I think they are very interesting.

I must just be odd. I find more barber's than merc's. And all dimes.
 
Way to go! Mercs are good. Keep up the good work :D
