First 2 silver hunt!

I was with Tinthumb and Bagonails today at the site where thumb found his recent silvers and his gold pin thing. My first find of the night was a 1946 wheatie, so I took that as a good sign. My next find was a 1976 memorial. Thought to myself I'm going the wrong way on dates! Then a few feet away from the memorial, I dug the Barber. My blood really started pumping! Showed it around to everyone, then got back to hunting. Four feet from the Barber (and two feet from where Tinthumb found the gold) I found the Canadian half dime. When I saw it, I could tell it was silver and small. My blood was really pumping, as I thought it might be an American half dime. When I called Thumb over, my voice cracked I was so excited. After cleaning it I saw that it was Canadian 5 cents. Little bit of research shows that it's sterling, 92.5% silver!

Glad I was there to see you pop those out of the ground. What a great location that has turned out to be. 6-silvers and a indian head in Three or four hours of hunting.
