Default 925

Okay, so I went to the park down the street from work during my normal lunch hunt. I found a bunch of trash, a quarter, a nickel, a couple of pennies and an earring! It's my first earring and I think my first SILVER! Doesn't 925 have something to do with silver? It's on the inside. I will post a photo later. It was darn exciting. Registered just below a penny on my Ace250.

It should mean its 92.5% silver. Nice find by the way!

Well, Bill (I hope you don't mind if I call ya Bill )...I have been digging stuff since February and I don't think there's a day I didn't dig a ton of junk. I'm getting better at having an idea that what I'm about to dig will be a stinker, but I dig it anyway because you just never know. I don't mind diggin' junk because at least I'm finding what my machine is telling me is there. The last few things I have found at this reading (just a notch under a penny) have been pretty interesting finds. Not silver, but not a bottle top, either. Newbies should give it a chance and once you find your first neat thing, you'll most certainly be hooked for life. I'm usually one to get really excited about something and then once I buy it, and the new wears off, it's sitting in the closet collecting dust. I will have you know that I'm certifiably obsessed with MDing. It's in my car right now ready for my next adventure.
