First silver was a Barber dime it was also my first day out with my ATpro
 

Mercury dime my first time out with a DFX, in the rear of my old elementary school built 1958.
 

I don't remember...back when i first started detecting, silver was still pretty common in change. My first old piece of silver was an 1896-O Half dollar.
 

That's a really nice looking spoon.....congrats. I certainly do remember my first piece of silver. I dug a 1942 Mercury dime across the street from the high school I attended back in the 1960's. I found the dime with my new White's 6000di in 1984.
 

Found down by the river........next to a rock, not a van. :laughing7:
1834 1/6 Thaler

My first was an 1877 CC Seated Dime.

Same here. When I started in 1970 silver was very common to find with a detector. My first was just a 1963 quarter, and I found 12 more on that first hunt at the beach.....along with at least that many silver dimes. Half of all my finds in those early years were silver and wheats.
 

It was a coin spill three silver quarters and two wheat pennies in my back yard!!!
 

An 1876 seated dime, in a sidewalk tear out, somewhere around 1984
 

My first silver was a cub scout ring in 1977 with my compass Rm 6....the fire was lit.....
