37 year old NOOB having a blast !

[Diggin' 4 Silver]

1st post
I'm a 37 year old NOOB but have wanted to get into treasure hunting for years. I received an ACE 250 on the 10th for my birthday. After taking it to one of the local State Parks & practicing(and digging every hit)LOL, I felt comfortable enough to dig up my front yard. I Found a 1916 Mercury Dime, a 1947 Dime & 1953 Dime(which looks like it was minted yesterday). I AM HAVING A BLAST!

A pic. of the 47' & 53' Dimes.
Of the all the pennies found so far, only 6 were Wheats, the oldest being a 1918 found the first day while I was @ the State Park Beach. Only been able to locate 3 Nickles (most hits have turned out to be beer tabs) & 2 Quarters, oldest being 1970. LOL

Not sure on the mint mark of the 16' Merc. its not in the best of shape. Hope like hell its a Denver but I think that would be a little too much to ask for. LOL

I'll find my magnifying glass & take a better look.

I see something right where the MM should be....Take a high resolution picture.

I looked at it w/ a magnifying glass & it appears to be a "S" MM

Hey great find for a first time,
there's not much to beat a nice silver. That'll hook you.
We wish you many more like that,
