Ground has been pretty hard around here lately but thawed just enough the last couple of days for me to get out and try out my new AT-Pro which came in the mail on Wednesday and I have been going batty waiting to get out and dig. I ran it in the yard several times and marked where some likely signals and today decided to try and dig a few.

Second signal was an 82 on the meter and 8 inches down. After a good deal of hacking through the frozen upper crust, out popped this beautiful silver Mercury. It's my first and I am pretty stoked, even if it might be a bit underwhelming among some of the banner stuff that has been going up on the forum lately. The awesome thing is that I have pounded that yard like crazy for months with the old Bounty Hunter and never got a single signal in that area, and found this inside of 2-3 minutes. Think I will really like the Pro!!

Thanks for taking a look, gonna get back out there and see what else awaits!

BIG congrats on the first silver! My first silver ever was a mower struck Merc. I thought it was the prettiest thing ever when I found it lol. It's still in a holder.

nice one!, a lot of firsts end up being mercs for some reason, mine was too!
 

I remember finding my first silver coin, also a mercury dime. I know mine felt like a banner find to me I was so excited. Congrats on your first.
 

Great Merc! One of many more to come I'm sure. I still remember digging my first silver a 1939 Merc about 36 years ago, I remember the exact spot I dug it.

Nice older Merc. Those never get old for me no matter how many. In fact I'm a bit jealous! Lol
