First Silver coin ever - Mercury Dime!

[SoCalDetector]

Took me a little over a year to find my first silver coin, but I finally checked it off the bucket list last night with a 1944 Mercury Dime!

Great job, That's a beauty. My first was a 1943 mercury dime. That first silver coin is one you will always remember. Hopefully it is the first of many to come. Congrats.
That really is a pretty coin.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to remember this one. I've been obsessed with finding a silver coin since I bought the detector for Christmas 2017 haha. Next goal is to find a pre-1900 coin. Closest I've gotten is a 1919s wheat

Congrats on such a great find! It seems they get harder and harder to find with each passing year. Thanks for sharing your success with us.

The ice is broken!

45 years ago "mercs" were almost an every outing find, nowadays not so much.
Soon the 1899 will surface and that monkey will be off your back.
Then a new monkey to tote around while you search for the elusive gold coin. The never ending quest for more.
