Finally...after 28 days, find FTY #1

[Leave-No-Coins-Behind]

Just for change of pace, I decided to recirculate back to a location which was a school that I had not been to for a very long time, I am glad I did, I broke the ice and recovered my first silver for the year! And it was a close one too, a '64 dime. It was about 8" deep with a faint signal.

And I found some clad lunch money to sweeten the day too.

Congrats on uncovering your first silver for the year! It's always nice when we can find a good amount of clad, too.

Good start. I’m still looking for mine.
Keep them coming.

Congrats! Now that you broke the ice FTY, the rest should come easy!

Congrats on silver #1 FTY John. My first was also a squeaker,a just made it 64. Silver is silver and you're off. Your 64 looks way better than the one I dug. Nice job on the clad as well. Good luck. Mark

Congrats on your first silver for the year!

Thank you both for your kind words! It certainly has been a challenge for me finding this first silver. But then again, I'm always grateful for the clad that finds its way underneath my coil. John

Good start. I’m still looking for mine.
Keep them coming.

Thanks MasonDixonMding! As we all know, it is just one of those things that we never know if and when we'll find that first silver for the year. Hopefully, it will be your turn soon! John

Thanks aj0421! I just squeaked by with that date. But in this game, we can't complain too much about any silver that is found anymore.

Thanks Saker! Literally, thank goodness for this unseasonal warmer weather or I probably would have had to really break the ice to finding that one. Now I feel like I can breath a little easier since I got that one out of the way. John

Congrats John. Yesterday was a great day to be out.

Thanks Steve! I see you got your first out the way fty, so I thought I needed to do the same. Now we both need to find the #2. John

Congrats on silver #1 FTY John. My first was also a squeaker,a just made it 64. Silver is silver and you're off. Your 64 looks way better than the one I dug. Nice job on the clad as well. Good luck. Mark

Thanks Mark! Finally, I strike silver. With all the hundreds of coins I have found so far this year, it was about time for this lonely coin surfaced! And it wasn't a good signal either. I was glad the ground was moist to help amp the signal. I see you are off to a good start with #8. Hopefully, we'll both have another rewarding year! John

 

[Leave-No-Coins-Behind]

Just the beginning!

Thanks Silverhorse65! I much appreciated the words of confidence. It just amazes me just how many more coins are still left in the ground to be found whether its clad or silver. Keep up the fine work yourself too, I always enjoy reading your threads and posts! John

Congrats on the Rosie, and the pile of clad!

Congrats on the Rosie, and the pile of clad!

Thanks Jeff! It's a start, hopefully I'll be able to find #2 soon too. John

 

[jack&jill]

Don't be so disgruntle John, you are one up on me for the year but then again we still have about a foot of snow covering the ice block under it. From what it looks like presently I'll get out in 5 or 6 weeks.Anyway big congrats on the Rosie. Trapper

 

[Leave-No-Coins-Behind]

Thanks Trapper! Finding that first silver fty sure makes me breath a lot easier. Like all of us, we always wonder when will that first silver happen. For the past couple of days in my area we got into the single digits with the cold. And now I'm thinking the ground is pretty much frozen-up solid. Hopefully, the sun will warm it up enough so that I can return to digging. The weather in PA is nothing extreme like what you guys get I'm sure. Anyway, if its clad or silver, I will take it all. John
