My first silver

Went to a school yard that had been a prison farm way back. I figured it would be all pull tabs and bottle caps and I was mostly correct. But I did find some wheaties at a far corner of the field. I followed those to some better targets:

The quarter was my first silver ever. It was a better feeling than I expected to see that glimmer in the bottom of the hole. I found it at about 4 inches. The cap gun was perfect. It's always history to me and I tried to picture a kid running around playing cowboys and Indians until he lost it. The spoon is silver plated I think but it was infesting to find. I didn't post the bit o clad I found or the endless bottle caps that look like a silver coin to my Ace350...

now I have the silver bug!

Way to go. The first is always the best. Congrats on a very nice Washington Quarter. By the way, that feeling you got when you saw the silver, It never goes away !!
 
Way to go on your First Silver I know that feeling all to well just found my first about 2 weeks ago 54 Rosie keep hunting after I found that Rosie I found 2 Mercs within the next few hunts :congrats::thumbsup02::perfect10:
 
Hey, way to go! And your first silver was even a quarter which is awesome! :thumbsup02:

The spoon is definitely plated but it looks old and has a neat design on it.

Congrats on your first silver coin! I'm sure it will be the first of many. :yes:

Added number two today. Found it at 9" at the same place I found the old pulley. I'm impressed with the Ace350. It gave intermittent tones, I turned up the sensitivity and it nailed it dead on.

Nice bags Twobit! I'm jealous.

Yer a sick pup for being out in it today. 90+ and the dewpoint was pure evil. :notworthy:
 
Congratulations of you first 2 silver coins. Now you're hooked for sure. I don't know if there is specific therapy for this. Once you're hooked it's hard to kick, but so much fun. Looks like you did your homework and found a good spot. Way to go!

i was in the zone and didn't even notice it. The funny part was that I scheduled my errands for the day so that I would end up by my spot. The schedule WAS a bit of a failure because it had me digging from 11-1:00, right in the sweaty zone.
