I WENT OUT FOR A SHORT HUNT ON SATURDAY IN AN OLD CHURCH PARKING LOT. I'VE HAD MY DETECTOR SINCE CHRISTMAS AND LOVE THE HOBBY, BUT ALL I'VE FOUND IS A BUNCH OF CLAD AND ONE SMALL WOMENS WEDDING BAND THAT I CAN'T TELL WHAT ITS MADE OF. I HAVE SEARCHED OLD HOUSES,BALLFIELDS,CHURCHES, AND PARKS. I HAVE BEEN SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE OLDEST COIN I HAVE FOUND WAS A 1962 PENNY. MY WIFE TELLS ME ITS BECAUSE I'M DETECTOR DUMB,IE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE MY DETECTOR YET!!! ANY WAY I STARTED CHECKING THE PARKING AREA AND FOUND A 1967 BRITISH 3 PENCE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS COOL. THEN I GOT A FUNNY PENNY SIGNAL?? I DUG IT UP AND I HAD FOUND MY FIRST WHEAT. I WAS SO EXITED I CALLED MY WIFE TO BRAG. I CONTINUED SWINGING AND FOUND 7 MORE WHEATS 
. OK I WAS IN HOG HEAVEN AND IT WAS GETTING DARK SO I STARTED BACK TO THE TRUCK SWINGING ALL THE WAY. I GOT A DIME,BOTTLE CAP SIGNAL THAT I WAS GOING TO PASS ON,BUT I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY SO WHAT THE HAY. I DUG DOWN AND AT ABOUT SIX INCHES OUT POPPED A PERFECT 1941 MERC!! 
I WAS SO HAPPY I TRIED TO CALL MY WIFE,BROTHER AND MOM BUT NOBODY WOULD ANSWER THE PHONE. I HAD FOUND MY FIRST SILVER COIN AND I COULDN'T TELL ANY ONE. WELL THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A COIN DEALER AT THE FLEA MARKET AND HE GRADED IT AS A VF AND ASKED ME WERE I BOUGHT IT. WHEN I TOLD HIM I HAD DUG IT, HE WAS AMAZED. I WILL POST PICTURES AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. EVERY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO POST A PICTURE IT SAYS MY FILE IS TO BIG .
