the silver slump

[Anonymous]

Hello all,
I've been reading all the great posts on the forum, and the wonderful finds, and found myself in a silver dry spell for about 10 months now. I've been detecting about 10 years now, and have never had a hard time finding the elusive shiny stuff. I've had great sites to search,that haven't produced, and it was very dishartening. Turns out my slump ended today right by my house. I live on base (Fort Campbell, Ky). I pulled out a 1943 Mercury dime in 3 minutes of searching. Let me tell you, while by far not a very impressive find, it sure lifted my "detecting" spirits. I feel this may sound a bit silly but I feel much better. I can finally share a decent find with the rest of the group. Now if only I don't have to go back to Iraq....

There's nothing like finding a Merc Dime to pick one's spirits up. When searching Shaw AFC, SC in the late 70's I found rolls of Merc's. There's just something about popping one out of the dark soil! I'm in a slump also and can relate. Go Air Force! <img src="/metal/html/super.gif" border=0 width=26 height=28 alt=":super">
