Very first time I went out I found an 1889 Morgan Silver dollar, four years ago, haven't found anything half as cool as that since, lol. I carry it around with me pretty much every day
Back on the eaely 70's mom doing laundry at laundromat, I always checked coin changer if someone left something. Guess what? they did, a standing liberty! From than on the fascination began. ; )
1912 half dollar in really bad shape with a dent in it, then digging with a clam shell in the same place "no detector yet" I found a 1835 half dime VF/EF I was maybe 14 years old, first metal detecting find was a 45 merc at a 1790's home..lol
my first thing that was silver was a silver braclet, found it on the sidewalk and i didn't see anyone near where i found it, so, that was a nice find, lol
