Default First silver wilth my son

I had just got home from work friday (9-10-11), soon as I walked in the house my 8yr old son meet me with my detecting bag and said "Pleeeeeeeeease". We had somewhere to be in an hour so I told him we could go to aspot close by for 20min max.

We hit an iffy dime signal at 5" so we dug it, about 4" down I puled a small piece of what I think is aluminum fence. I rescan the hole and am getting a strong dime signal now, my son asks if he can dig the rest so I let him.

About 2" deeper and he flips a handfull of dirt over and we immediatly see a shiny round object. At the same time we both say "oh my God".Laying there staring at us is a beutiful 1941 merc. It was both mine and his first silver, It is one of the best memories I have with him and Its a day I will NEVER forget.
We were still on cloud 9 when we went to bed.
