All day hunt , lots of targets and Big Silver Off The Bucket List

[46Wheat]

A lady friend asked me for the use of my truck and some sweat to help her get a load of mulch and pavers this morning for her house . I gladly helped her out with the promise of a nice lunch along the Susquehanna river and permission to detect around her house which was built in 1781 . Not sure if the house had been detected before as I didn't find much silver but a lot of clad and an old button made an appearance . Well there was a least one silver and it was pretty big . I can now cross off a Barber Half on my list
Not sure on the button as im not a button guy but if anyone has an idea let me know
After half a day of roaming around on her lawn and digging what seemed like a 100 holes I headed down the road to a small park that is along the river in the town she lives in.
Nothing to exciting other then a tootsie truck and an old dog tag along with another bunch of clad and a whole lot of odds and ends .
Got home right at dark after a full day and just dumped everything on the table . Picked out what I knew was cool and took a group shot of the rest . I probably left some good stuff in the pile but im toasted like the IHs I have been digging lately . If I find some other goodies when I clean my stuff tomorrow ill post it then

I pretty much did .... thank goodness I found at least 6 or 7 clad pocket spills . All the keys were in one hole an a couple of the toy cars were together . But ya that's a lot of digging in about 10 hrs

Holy cow, awesome big silver! Congrats, that's a great silver to dig.

I'm jealous of the number of things you dug up. I tried three sites today, it was pretty bad. I wound up with a 1981 dime and one lonely wheat penny in five hours of digging.

Good to see someone else making finds along the Susquehanna.

I might sneak back down to the river to watch the General Clinton Canoe Regatta this weekend . Sit on the above mentioned lady friends deck which overlooks the river and watch the canoes go by . With an adult beverage or two and mabey wave hello as they pass

Very nice silver. Sounds like it could be a great site

That Half is a GREAT silver save !!! I've only ever found one and still recall how pumped up I was after digging down past sixty years of gravel and into the hard-pan to retrieve that 1895-S Barber Half .

That Big Silver is Awesome!!

Wow, very cool finds, I need a Barber half!

The ring with the threaded stud is a rein guide for a carriage. The buckle looks like horse tack. The small two-headed wrench I had for my bicycle as a kid in the 60s. Nice find on the Barber half!

I found my first silver half dollar today, mine was minted 47 years later. Lol
