    Good morning!

    A friend of mine asked me to come over to his house to metal detect in his yard to help look for a key he lost. Unfortunately, we did not find it. However, I hit a nice 50/51 signal and decided to dig into it. Here is what I found:

    This is the first silver coin I have ever dug out of the ground here in the States (I found a silver coin in Morocco). I did not have much time to look over the site very thoroughly, but I have permission to go back again sometime.

    Terrific find! Much better than my first silver: a 1936 Mercury dime.
