    Beer Can suprise!!!

    I was out detecting in a local mark and another person with us had a surprise. he dug down about 5 inches and dug out a beer can. He was getting ready to get rid of it and looked on the bottom of it and there was a 1927 Merc dime. THis is his first silver coin ever. What a neat way to find his first silver.
