Eric (Washingtonian) and myself headed out to the city to hit up a couple sidewalks he’d scoped out.
We were hunting outside an old apartment building that had been up since the 1920s. I had found a couple of wheats, which meant the ground was still old. I got a sharp 84 on the AT pro, which I figured was a clad dime. Well, I nearly had a heart attack when I popped the plug and stared at the shiniest coin I’d ever seen in a hole before.
My first silver! Man I was hyped. 1918-S merc, and in pretty good shape too for 101 years old!
Later, I dug a 79 signal, and was again surprised when I found half a sterling ring. Try as I might, I couldn’t find the other half :/
Anyways, it was a fun hunt, and one I will definitely remember and cherish- I now have SILVER FEVER
