So I went back to a spot today that I found a merc and a v nickel at yesterday. I managed to find my first silver half. I got a loud signal and kicked the leaves out of the way. Sitting on top of the sandy soil with just a little dirt on it was a 1917 walking liberty half! Isn't it nice when you don't even have to dig! I also found a broken button nearby I can't tell if its modern or not. I found a couple rusted up bottle openers and a lamp top. In another spot nearby I found the little religious pendant. My camera not the best sorry for the quality. There's good stuff out you just got to get your coil over it!!

Congrats on your first Half Dollar. A Walker is a great coin to dig (or in your case, pick up) !

That is a heck of feeling, huh? Seeing that big old silver coin laying in the dirt.

Well done sir.
