I found my first silver coin of the year and first one since moving to Texas. I was laid up for 2 1/2 months after breaking my ankle 2 weeks after I moved here in the middle of Oct. I've spent the last 2 weeks jewelry hunting at a local lake and went down this morning for some more. Second signal of the morning was a 20-21 which turned out to be the silver earring, I figured I was digging a zinc. Within 5 minutes I get a solid repeatable 26, I thought for sure I was digging a clad dime. I was quite surprised and thrilled to see a Merc in my plug. I've dug several wheats here, but, figured they were strays in pocket change. The town was officially founded in 1984, so, a silver coin was the last thing I thought I dig. Messed around for another hour and half and was able to pull another silver ring from this spot. I have dug 13 rings so far this year, mostly silver, with 1 gold in the mix from the beach on the lake.
