Default First Silver Coin and another wheatie!!
Hey everyone. I had an amazing weekend and got my first gold ring and silver jewelry.

Tonight I kept the streak going. I hunt my little local parks after work and one of them finally produced a silver coin, which is rare for a Los Angeles area park. It was only about 7 inches down. It got dark before I could really hit the area hard, but I had some really nice signals that were to deep to get in the dark. I will definately clear out that area of the park.

$4.50 in clad, One 1957 D wheatie, and the 1964 Washington Quarter! The quarter is in perfect condition. Looks like it was dropped in 1964.

Sorry my camera is bad (also, I am horrible with camera's).

Good haul. Like the silver, it's always sweet to find.

I have yet to hit your spot. I think this local park near my house is going to be a great spot. I have already pulled close to $50 in clad over the last month. I hit this new area for the first time and had some real scratchy high tones deep.

Thanks every as well. It sure is nice getting my first silver jitters out of the way!
Greg
