Woohoo first merc dime!!!

[washingtonian]

Yay, I can't tell you how excited this coin made me. My brother and I hit one of our favorite parks today for a few hours and it was totally worth it. We started in this large field finding a few coins of clad here and there. We had already hit this field last year so there wasn't a ton, but some targets were still showing up. My brother got bored of this part of the park and wandered off to another area. I kept at it and found 2 wheaties in this area before he returned(the years are 1952 D and 1945 D). He returned with some clad and I told him about the wheaties. We kept hitting the field and I dug up a bottlecap. Right next to this bottlecap I got a good signal and figured it was trash because it read as a dollar coin on the DFX but I went for it anyways. After digging down 6-8" I hadn't seen anything, so I checked the pile of dirt on my towel and got a good signal. I plucked out the mercury dime and started shouting for my brother and we celebrated. Its a 1945-D, not a rare date but I don't care I love it. We continued to detect for a while longer and didn't find much, but it was a great day today and the perfect weather for detecting. Our totals on the day are 4 quarters, 12 pennies (2 are wheats), 1 nickel, and 5 dimes(one merc). Thanks for looking and happy hunting everyone.

Congrats on your first Mercury dime! The great finds will only keep coming, and every time you dig silver it will still make your heart jump! There is nothing better then flipping over the plug to see a silver disc looking up at you! Happy Dirt Fishing!
