Default First silver was not a coin

Hey guys after about a month and a half of hunting with no luck finding any silver it finally showed up last night in my own yard. I've still yet to find a Merc or a Rosie or any silver coins for that matter but this little pin put a big smile on my face. I was out grilling some burgers about 9:00 pm last night and thought I'd pick up the At Pro for a couple of minutes while waiting to flip my beef. It turned out that was the best thought I had all day because on the first swing I heard that good high tone that I now know to be silver. At about six inches out pops this little trucking safety pin. That was my one and only swing for the night and I had no problem going to bed knowing I had batted a thousand.

Thanks guys. I normally don't post finds but since it was my first silver I thought I would. I also thought it would draw some focus away from all these feuds going on right now on the forum.

Congrats on your first silver. I'm sure you'll get many more. It just takes time. Took me 6 months for my first. Then pulled over 200 in my second year. Just keep at it and keep researching new areas.

That's a great find, definitely unique! Lately I too have been hunting my yard very very slowly, as it's full of iron. Keep it up!
