I've been detecting for about nine years. I've found gold and silver jewelry but a silver coin has always eluded me.

I got a permission at the AirBnB where I was staying in Missoula, MT. The sidewalk said 1913 and it wasn't the address. This came out next to the front walk. (And of course I scratched it.) Shortly followed by a 1916 wheatie, then five 1930s-40s wheaties in one hole. Then it dried up.

Wow 9 years is a long time without finding 1 silver coin! Maybe this is the curse breaker!

Good stuff at the airbnb! Grats on the wheats and first silver coin! I scratched my first one ever too, a barber quarter. Let's just call it an added memory of our first silver coin. Ha

Congratulations on the first silver. I pulled my first silver this year as well. (1942 merc) There's plenty more silver to come. As for the scratch, you'll always know which was your first.
