Default first silver & first three wheaties....updated pics added

went hunting this past wednesday at a park in a near by town. got geared up and ready to start detecting and started swinging. found the usual odds & ends when i got a copper signal at the base of a tree; low and behold my first wheatie pops out of the ground. within the next 5 minutes i found my 2nd and 3rd wheaties around the same tree just a few feet apart from eachother. so i keep searching around the same tree and a few feet from the last wheatie i got a good repeatable signal just chirping away in my jolly rogers head phones. pin pointed at just a couple inches below the surface. my pro pointer is able to get me right on top of it so i dig and i was shocked to see my first silver pop up out of the ground. a 1935 s mercury dime. the wheatie dates are 1940, 1944 d, 1951 d

Congrats on the the cool finds and your first silver. Well, I see you're swinging an E-Trac, so there will be a lot more silver to follow!
