Big mud gives up big silver - 05/01
Hi all,
My fields are all plowed now and will be planted soon so I snuck away for a quick hunt last night. We had rain the day before so the field was pretty sticky. Found a wheatie, clad dime and penny and assorted junk. It was near quitting time when ahead of me I saw a big, silver disk laying just under a corn stalk. I clod-hopped over to the car to get my camera. I was so hoping for a Walking Liberty but could see the Liberty Bell plainly on it. Still, not complaining! Ben is a bit scratched but I won't take credit for that since I never used my shovel. 
Also found what looked like an oyster shell  and a wannabe arrowhead.
HH and thanks for looking,
Michiganne

Listen-- are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?

Wow, now that has got to be fun, "picking" big Silver coins.
Congrats on the eyeball. Big silver comes rarely, at least for me. One only half in 5 years.

Awesome...I dug a Franklin half last year and it was quite a thrill.
Why do they call it "Taking a dump" when you're actually leaving one?
