I went to a vacant grassy lot in the old part of town where houses once stood. Got a bunch of junk, a wheatie was a good sign and this Big Ben showed up, a nice 60 year old 50 center. Every once in a while the 50 cent reading on the detector is actually correct. Gotta love the big silver.

And you were very kind to bring Ben in out of the cold after all these years :wink:. Always nice to see his smiling face in the hole.

Nice find!

I've yet to reclaim an Silver coins from the ground... The only Silver I've found, is doing coin roll hunting. So far!

Keep up the good work!
