Found my first silver coin yesterday. 1945 Mercury dime. (I hear trumpets... no just some of you snickering). First one for me though, that was not won in a hunt or raffle. Found silver rings, no coins. Speaking of rings, I found a nice one yesterday. A class graduation ring from Jostens. Not silver, but worth about $20-$25. Looking for owner. The cell phone I found the day before was apparently discarded by the owner. Cell phone was wiped clean, no sim card, no service. It works though. Might use it for a second phone. Found some clad too. All in all, a good day at the park.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Probably not. Sad

It's one of those Obama phones. I paid for it in taxes, so I guess I should keep it. A charger, sim card and touch screen are going to cost more than the dang thing is worth new. Don't even mention the carrier cost or a minutes card.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Good finds, those cross coins are interesting. Yes those mercs are unforgettable when found. I hope you find the 1916 D worth 1000s or the 1921s worth 100s.
