Finally found my first silver and I almost didn’t dig it

Got a kind of iffy signal. Not super clean. Jumping a little. Normally I would’ve passed, but I figured I’d dig it just to clear the spot
About 5 inches down I saw the edge of something thin and gray. Thought it was junk at first. Wiped it off and it was a 1943 Mercury dime. Nothing huge, but man that feeling hit different

If you’re new and getting discouraged - keep digging the “maybe” signals. Sometimes that’s where the good stuff is hiding
