Holy Smokes! My first SILVER!!!:clapping:

This afternoon I spent almost 4 hours at a 1930's school yard detecting. I finally built up enough confidence in how to operate this 705 that I ventured to a place that I hoped would produce something special other than clad and junk lol. I ended up when the afternoon was over and rain clouds began to roll in finding 3 wheat cents, two state tax tokens and a few miscellaneous clad coins. But the find that really had me jumping was a 1940 Mercury dime!!! This is a first for me! My first silver coin ever! I couldn't believe what I was seeing......I looked at it 3-4 times to make sure it was what it was:lol:. It was 6-7 inches down, gave a nice high tone and came in around 44-45. This school has been pounded over the years so I was not sure how successful I would be. Well......what a way to start off 2012. Hopefully only the first of many more. Really like this X-Terra 705. Thanks...........Tired Rooster.
 
Do the happy dance?

Congratulations on the first! Mercs are among my favorites.
 
AWESOME I cant wait for my first. For two years I pounded the ground everywhere I could think of with my MXT and NOTHING!!! You can bet the first silver I find will be framed and hanging on the wall with a photo of where it was found. CONGRATS TO YOU:super:
 
That's really great....... nice find
 
Nice Merc ! Congrats.

I found 2 last year after a long hard slug, it took some time.

The X-Terra 705 is a great detector, I still have mine, it's found some nice things for me.
 
Congrats on your first silver coin. It's been nearly 40 years ago that I found my first silver. But I remember it as if it were yesterday. I'll bet you don't forget this one either. HH Randy
 
Like Randy, I remember back in the day when I nabbed my 1st silver. Hope ya have many more like it!!!!........Mark
 
Very nice. I have a school built in 1918 just down the road which I hope to hunt this Spring with my new 705. Can't wait for the snow to go and the temps to climb.
Don't 'cha just love this hobby?
 
Nice one, bet you were stoked.
 
I appreciate all the responses guys. Today was a tough day at work for me. All I wanted to do and all I could think about was getting back out there again and see if there is more where that came from. I was using the 5x10 18.75 DD coil. I have a 3 Khz coil that I haven't even tried yet. I think I will give it a whirl later this week some time and see how well it does for me. Thanks again.......James
