Hit A new spot today and was hoping to find some copper. My very first signal was a 1951 nickle and then about 10 minutes later I got a high tone on the E-trac bouncing all over giving coin numbers 1-46 12-48 and some other numbers in between so I figured a copper lawn sprinkler. I dig down and see a big silver!!!!! I was like cool Morgan Dollar. Then I picked it up and the dirt dropped off and I saw the most Beautiful coin Ive ever dug!!!!!! A Draped Bust Half Dollar!!! I was so happy I started to shake and all I could say is omg omg omg its a Draped Bust!!!! I got this one on video but Im not sure if I will post because I just lost control and made an Idiot out of myself. Thanks for looking HH

Wow, one of the nicest coins I have ever seen. Should make the banner in about 10 min. You are on a roll. Keep it going. When you get done shaking go hit the area again.

That's an amazing coin, congrats big time :thumbsup: I think I would have to get that one graded, an XF grade would pay for your E-trac. Banner definitely!

WOW! Thats the most beautiful large silver I've ever seen in dug condition. You have to get it graded, it will also help preserve it.
