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.

Very cool, I hope my daughter wants to detect with me when she gets old enough.
That field is huge, I'm sure there are more silver coins there for you guys! __________________

Garrett 250 can do
 watch for EMI, you don't need a double D and I'm going to buy another one of those soon to lend out since My father in law has my first one. That's a great find and a fantastic machine for the money! You guys have a pinpointer yet?
