Congrats!
Some people will do everything they can to help out somebody truly enthusiastic--perhaps even childlike--about a hobby. We like those people!

WTG on the silver! Like was mentioned before, you never forget your first. Here’s to many more
Congrats Gary, my first was a 44 Merc I believe.
No doubt you nabbed it with the Equinox!
Silver coins always make me happy cause they're hard to find around here.
Hope you find silver and gold on the permission!!!
GKL! Great job. The fun is in the hunt, but a first silver coin is extra fun. I remember my first. I came home and showed my wife. I was really happy with it. She assumed it was worth a lot of money. When I told her I could I could probably get a dollar for it, she said "If it makes you THAT happy go buy 50 of 'em!"
Since then I've been lucky to find quite a few silver coins. Finding them still makes me smile.
Congrats on your first. The second one is just as fun as the 100th. Happy hunting.
Congratulations on the silver and the wheatie. Those silvers seem to be pretty elusive lately so well done. I still get excited to dig wheats. At least it lets you know you’re in the right spot
Congratulations on your first silver GKL, I have found quite a few myself and I can tell you this, anytime I pull a silver out of the ground I still get that same feeling as I did on my very first one. It never ever get's old amigo! Congrats!
Congrats! Aren't Mercs beautiful?
This is the kind of thread that gets a lot of attention not because a Merc is normally a “spectacular find”, but because it’s YOUR Merc and YOU found it, which makes it.....a spectacular EXPERIENCE!
I read all about how “you’ll know it’s silver the second you see it” on the forum before I found my first, and boy were people right! The INSTANT I saw it, after digging a couple thousand dirty clad coins...I knew...a 64 Rosie, technically the “worst” silver coin you can find. To ME it was the best coin ever. I know you feel the same, and that’s what this whole thing is all about.
Now...to find another!! Nice work sticking with it Gary, you’ve made some really nice contributions to this forum along the way too, we ALL appreciate that.
Congrats and wow hope you find some great things at the 1800s site. Nothing like finding silver
That’s awesome Gary! Big Congrats on your first silver coin!
My first silver was also a Merc a 1944, it took me a year and a half to find that one,
No matter how many you end up finding that first one will always be special!
Also Congrats on gaining a permission! Maybe more silver in the near future!
Congrats! She is a Beaut Clark!
