Mine was a Hey Diddle Diddle early 1900s baby spoon. 59339410366__9C67F7CA-526E-4F6A-B065-4026EE269B52.jpg59339411813__D9F3BBE9-07C2-40D7-9D44-519D1504DAE2.jpg

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.

That must’ve been some virgin ground
 

Mercury Dime (pre-war I'm thinking 1937). It was the first coin I found in my own yard the first time I took my Musketeer Advantage out. "Hot damn" thought I. "This is one hot machine!"

Five years later I found my next silver coin.
 

1898o Barber Dime. I was 13..1984... White's Big Blue Coinmaster...I still have it! (The coin not the machine)

1902 Barber dime with my Compass Judge II. Immediately drove home to check my coin book to discover it was worth a whopping .65c.
 

A 1942 D Washington quarter. flipped the plug back and saw a big silver rim gleaming in the sunlight
