This morning was my morning. I was working a 100+ year old park that I have hunted before. Detecting a big flat part of the park where they hold special events. I had found 2 copper pennies so far on the flat. I was swing the coil over a promising target, I looked up and saw all these kid standing around. A local school was having gym class. I wanted to hunt the flat area, but had to get out of the way for the kids. As it turned out, it was a move that would make my day. I walked about 50 yards and started detecting near an old tree. I got a good repeatable TID (00-29) next to a root running on the surface 4` from the trunk. I dug it, and was, to say the least, excited when I saw that shiny coin sitting there in the dirt pile. 1941 Merc!!!!!!!!!!!! My first silver!!!!!! I would not have to take that shameful silver less ride home today. I could hold my head up high. I always thought or hope there was silver in that park, now I know there is. I have improved my skill with a detector, but luck had a big part in making this find.

I am very happy for you. thumbsup01 As the others have said, you will never forget that first silver. 
And a nice one at that. I'm sure there will be many more trips back to that park. And many more silvers. 
Holysmokyfriendchickenfordinner! Never get enough of the beautiful silver coin that pop out of the ground. Now you gotta go search for its relatives mate! 
And you never get tired of that sight, in fact, I think you get addicted to it
