42' Merc and a few copper pennies

Took out my new to me SE Pro for the first real hunt. Found a few copper pennies and this Mercury dime! Silver does have a sweet "warble" on the Explorer!

Nice find there! Mercs are so damn good looking aren't they?
 

Oh the sweet sound of silver on an Explorer or Etrac.... Looks like it rewarded you well this time, Walt. :)
 

Nice Mercury recovery! Yes the explorer has a beautiful sweet song "warble" when silver is under the coil. May you hear it often!
 

42' Merc and a few copper pennies

Thanks guys! They seem to be the only silver I am able to find but I love seeing any shiny silver in the hole! The funny part is this was at my mother in laws rental house which I could have hunted anytime for the last 10 years, but never thought there would be silver there. I was there picking lemons out of her backyard and just happened to have my detector in the truck. I only hunted a small spot in the driveway and found 4-5 copper pennies, a quarter and the Merc. I will be back tomorrow with a smaller coil!
