Finally hit silver!

[Threshold]

So i have been metal detecting on and off for a couple years, well today I hit my first silver coin! A 1949-S dime. It was so shiny! Now I know what they look like poppin out of the earth.

Congrats but now watch how you start finding them. You know the sound & feeling now, let the flood gates of silver open

Woo Hoo! Nothing beats seeing something shiny in the dirt, sure beats brown clad! I figured I find a silver coin about once in every 500 dug holes. Every time it happens though, it still a thrill, especially when you see just the shiny edge or the rim first, and it could be any type of an old coin. Congratulations on not hitting it with the shovel!

Shoot u couldnt be more right about clad. Pennies just rot! Many a hunk of corroded reminants of pennies I have pulled. What was funny is that i found the silver dime within 10mins of detecting only about 20 feet from where I parked my truck.

Yep, one morning I got out at an old park and immediately put the coil right down on an old wheat penny 4 inches deep, spent the whole rest of the day there in wet 32 degree weather and did not find another old coin in the whole park...how?

I feel u on that! I found that dime and then all modern coin. Not even one wheatie! But i wasnt mad bro, i got silver finally!

Interestingly enough, across the street from where I live there is a newer sports park. I detected a drainage type access road right next to it that was just hard sandy dirt. And surprise- 1910 wheatie! The second year they even made them! I was stunned that something 103 years old was sitting right there in the dirt.
