I decided to hunt a small park by the university I go to! I got out there and after three pennies I got a half dollar signal on my ace 250! Normally I ignore the half dollar signals because they end up being deeper iron, but this was a solid hit. I dug the plug around 5-6 inches and It was laying at the bottom of the hole! My first silver coin! And its a walking liberty half!!! I think I hit it with the digger in the back, but I can't be upset with this awesome find!

Congrats on your first silver. Not many people find a walker as their first silver.

If you're going to find a silver coin it may as well be a half dollar. That's an awesome way to break into the silver column. :occasion14:
