OMG! I got one! I finely pulled a silver!

OMG! I got one! I finely pulled a silver! I excepted the fact that some experienced detectorist with a big dollar machine already cleaned out my area. I have spent a lot of hours hunting and never pulled any silver. Today was my day! I got a dime hit dug a plug and there she was stuck to the bottom of the plug all shiny and bright! All I could see was the olive leaves and thought, NO WAY! It was 4-5 " deep. 1941 Mercury Dime! I also dug a 1942 Wheat cent that was.......11" deep! I sure love that 9 X 12 head. I know a 41 Merc is not a huge recovery but, I have been waiting for a silver for a long time. Thanks for looking!

Good job!! There's no feeling like the one you get with that first silver coin. Good luck looking for #2

Way to go MM! Not only your first silver, but you bypassed a Rosie and went straight for a Merc. One of the prettiest coins made in my opinion.
Congrats,
MM

Old saying goes. "you will never fully hunt out a place."

I tested this theory Saturday actually.. In 1992 my dad and i hit up this church and pulled 43 wheaties, 14 silver and hand full of clad and other coins, tokens and such.. We went back 2 days ago and hunted again.. After all those years and i am sure many more detectorist we still managed to pull 7 wheats, lousiana tax token, Mercury Dime and crapload of change.

So its out there.. Just have to get a little deeper than before..

If there's one there then you just might find more. Big dollar machines don't always mean an area cleaned out, it just means someone spent big dollars for it. That Ace 250 you have is a great detector with suprising depth, just keep hitting those spots and if its deep and "iffy" dig it and see, could be junk, could be silver on edge or by junk!! Congrats and hope to see more!

Congrats on your first silver!
If you're like me, you'll get that same feeling every time you dig another one.
