Congrats and welcome to the silver club!!
Thanks !!!! .......maybe the gold club is not too far off
Gary, with all your great contributions to the forum, I would just have assumed you'd have amassed thousands of silver coins by this time. So congratz on your first silver ! Now you gotta make a good cartoon to accompany it
Thanks !!!! .......hey, even though I have a great detector and have the determination to keep hunting simply because it's so much fun, we all know how important "location" is as you can't dig what isn't there
fortunately my determination finally found a silver others missed
(I'll think about a cartoon
)
Thanks !!!! .....hopefully it encourages noobs who are still looking for their first silver.
I remember my first silver coin...elation!
Same with my first rings, my first gold and first most everything else.
Nothing like it and it only happens once, after many hours of searching when it happens a unique feeling and nothing else quite like it.
Enjoy the feeling and the glow as you seem to be doing...may there be many more!
Thanks !!!! .....hey, before today I would get elated simply to find any coins and avoid an all trash hunt with some of the trashy areas I've been detecting
BIG congrats Gary!!! Nothing like popping a silver outta the ground! Hope you get more soon
Thanks !!!! ......I'll definitely be paying closer attention to those silver TIDs even if I have to dig a bunch of aluminum caps also
Congrats. Took me a year to find my first silver and a second year before my second. Happily I’ve found quite a few and so will you
Thanks !!!! .......hopefully it doesn't take me another year to get my 2nd silver, but even if it does I'll still enjoy my hunts like I did before finding a silver
Well it's about time Gary man I was beginning to wonder about you.....
Congrats on the silver merc and here is wishes for bucketloads more of them!
Thanks !!!!
......hey, can't help it if all the locations I've tried seemed to have already been picked over so much
Thanks !!!! ......now, where's the gold ?
Wow me too. New site probably helped but it also sounds like a better detector did too. Congrats on your silver Gary!
Thanks !!!! ......actually the silver was found at the walking park that I've hunted already several times before, I focused on a different area of the park that I hadn't tried before. The new site will be when I hunt that new permission later this week !
Thanks !!!! .......I have a renewed appreciation for staying determined
Nice! Took me a while to hit silver to. Delighted to hear that you got a good permission with lots of potential! SC has lots of potential areas for research.
Thanks !!!! ....I'm hoping that new permission leads to even more permissions ! I appreciate that others understand what it is to wait to find a silver, I was beginning to think I was about the only one to go so long before finding a silver
Congratulations Gary on finding your first silver coin and second wheatie. Most likely you'll always remember where and how you found your first silver coin. My first silver coin find was also a Mercury dime and I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was 36 years ago. Now just don't get caught up in the "silver coin sweepstakes" becoming obsessed with silver. A hunt without silver is NOT a failure......just enjoy the hobby for the good that it brings to you.
Thanks !!!! ........I'll definitely continue to enjoy each hunt as much as I did before finding a silver, but it will be hard not to think of digging a silver when the right TID shows up
......but even if it's an aluminum cap I'll still have enjoyed the overall hunt regardless
Huge Congrats on your first silver coin!!. If you weren't obsessed before, get ready. Silver in the hole is almost as good as ......., well never mind, this is a family forum. Way to go!
Thanks !!!! ........It will be hard not to think of silver more than before, but I'll still enjoy my silverless hunts as much as before finding silver though, but my hopes for better finds is now more renewed
