Default First Silver

It finally happened. I found my first silver and it was in my own back yard. I was becoming pretty fed up with all the trash in the yard. Today I decided to discriminate every thing but silver coins. I was just finishing my sweep in the yard and the detector rang out silver. I dug about 2 inches and there it was gleaming up at me. Needless to say I did the detectorist happy dance and ran to the house to show the wife. Today is my anniversary and it was the detector gods presenting me with a gift. It is quite large and has 925 on the inside of the band. The funny thing is my detecting buddy and I spent the morning working a city park and an old abandoned church and a schoolyard with nothing but clad to show for it.
