Old school gives up silver

[garthbfan169]

I got out today to the old school and was joined by a young man that I met on youtube. He is from Mass. his family is down my way for vacation. We were only able to hunt for an hour and a half but we both made good use of the time.

I started out by finding a couple of Lincoln pennies. Then I got a solid dime signal on the ole Ace 250. I dug the plug and stuck my propointer in the hole and the target was down just a little bit more. I put my digger in the hole and dug down a little bit more when I saw the shiny coin. Didn't know what it was but knew I had to turn on my video camera. I pick it out of the hole and there it was a 1940 Mercury dime.

At that moment I remembered that this is what it's all about. Recovering a 70 year old coin from the ground for all to see. It is in really good shape except for the spot where my digger hit it. I was very excited as you will hear on the video. I wanted to do a happy dance as this is my first Merc. but I had my new friend and his father standing there with me and I didn't want to scare them. My new friend Recovering Relics as he is known found a nice button with the shank still attached.

I had a great time with my new friend and want to thank his dad for driving him over to meet me. Enjoy the photos and video. To view the video go to youtube.com and type in garthbfan goes detecting. The video won't be up till tomorrow morning some time because I will be busy the rest of the day sorry.

Thanks for everything! Thats a nice find you made. You know the building behind the old school? I bet there are some old coins on that little grassy area right by the building. Do you mind if I use this picture in my video? Thanks again and HH!
