Wow, it's literally been years since I've posted on this forum. But, I plan on getting back to posting! I've been metal detecting for around 5 years now just in my city, mainly my local neighborhood and park, and today was the day I finally found my first silver coin: a 1944 merc! I was stoked. I've found silver rings and jewelry, but never a coin. Happy hunting to everyone.

Congrats Chriscoinz, that is such a wonderful feeling I can still remember mine. Now good luck to you on the gold coin quest. I have been md'ing for a little over 20 years and like you lots rings and things until the first silver then they just kept comming after that until about two years ago then the luck slowed down. I am still still looking for that first gold coin. I hope you first gold coin comes faster for you.

Sweet! You never forget your first, mine was the second day I took out my new DFX, around 2008, in back of my old elementary school built in 1960.
