I found a... guess?????



1861 Half Dime!!!!!!!!!

I went to Metaldetecting.com I believe and put in the program that was there. I took the detector down to my first elementary school and started swinging. I found a wheatie first and then I found a penny. I got a signal and said not sure if I should dig it because it was kinda faint but then I remembered, that I should dig the faint ones. So I did. Then I used my X-1 and it rang out but only a little so I dug some more. Then I got a LOUD ring and I used my VibraProbe 560 and it started vibrating. So I knew I found whatever it was. Then I lost it :(. I used the X-1 and found it again. The vibraprobe and found it and then lost it again. Back and forth for a while like that lol. Finally I found the clump of dirt that was attached to it and I said gosh that is so small has to be trash. Then I looked closely and I said Oh My God!! Thank you!!!! I put it in my bra and carried it home!!!!!!! :)

No, this one was in VA where I grew up. Only silver I have found in WV was a 1943 Merc. Hoping to find more now though!!!

Treasure Pouch ... :dontknow: Bra ... :dontknow:

I had the same thought, put pouch on your next Xmas list, must be painful carrying around all those iron nails :laughing7:

Its a very nice looking one, & now you have a target to beat.
