First dug silver

[TreasureCatto]

Spent two hours this morning at an 80s era neighborhood park down the street from where my father is doing technician duty at a clients house. This was the best signal of the hunt, 6-7”. Before I didn’t expect to find any silver there so I expected only copper and clad. I never saw it coming, a 1961-D Rosie! Wow . First silver dig find and third silver find of 2019 . Continued hunting for the next hour and find 9 other clad coins = $1.26 . Afterwards I drove down to the convenience store to get a large drink to celebrate my first silver dig.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

I can't remember my first, but that was only 12 years ago... hmmm, wait, I believe it was a 1952 Wash. quarter or a RR-flattened Mercury dime.
I don't find silver that often, either....
Don't ya just love the FEEL of silver - its so cool to the touch!
Anyway, I bet you are still buzzing, from the Find.., right...? Good!

Great stuff! It’s always nice when they’re unexpected too. Feels like a bonus.

Forgot to mention the wheat is 1940 from the change buying the drink.

My first silver was also a rosie but I'm not positive...I think it was a 1954. It was 35 years ago. I didn't put it in a holder and put all my future funds in the same drawer. I remember where I found it and that once I found my first, they started coming easier.
Congratulations and good luck!

Congrats on digging your first silver, they should come along a little more often now that you broke the ice.

Congrats on your first Silver and in-case you didn't realize it, it's always a nice surprise when you recover it. I can never predict when a coin is Silver, unless it's over 8" down in the dirt. Enjoy the hobby and don't worry, there's no such thing as Silver fever!

I can still remember my first dug silver. June 2002 in Wyoming! Been hooked ever since (And 6 machines later )

Enjoy it as much as you can!!!!!

Congrats. Only a few thing feel better than a "first silver."

From the looks of it you had to work through a little bit of gravel to get there! Nice diggin'
