Found a Merc in a most unlikely spot

[michaelnc]

I don't post very often but I thought I'd give Garrett some props. I recently acquired a GTP 1350 and its a great little machine. I decided to search my yard which I've hunted for the past seven years (no kidding). I have searched this yard with every detector you can imagine and have never found silver until yesterday. It may not seem like a big deal but it sure helped me take a shine to the Garrett. The dime was a 1943 one of the most common dates but it is the rarest find ever from my yard. I always knew there had to be at least one silver here and the Garrett found it. That bell-tone sure shines when it comes to coin hunting (the Garrett seems to be the best discriminator made). Anyway thumbs up to Garrett (if they make a new detector soon lets hope it discs just as good as the 1350).

HH everyone

When Garrett makes a detector better than the 2500 I'm going to need to move to a bigger apartment!

Special dime for you. Very nice!

Congrats on the Merc Silver is extra special when you find it at home, regardless of the date.

Very cool. I'd sure like to get another GTP 1350, but so far I can't seem to find one.

Nothing like a Merc to make detecting worthwhile.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to Garrett - one of the best detectors out there. I think you will enjoy the 1350 and it will reward you well. Hope you find some more silver.

I read somewhere to hunt close to home. congrats

Indeed, the great H. Glenn Carson said just that. There are probably more places to detect within 10 miles of your home, than you can hit in a lifetime.

Congratulations, the 1350 sure does ding on silver!

Hey Shane,

Tell you what...let me detect your yard and you can detect mine. It might surprise us both what we find!

Later,
