Hi everyone. It’s been a year of firsts for me (first Spanish Real, first KG2 just a few days ago). This afternoon after work I pulled two “firsts” in one coin: first half-dollar and first Barber coin. I’m so excited about this beautiful 1901 Barber half dollar!
The quick story: first I visited a local park that produced some great silvers in 2019 and 2020, but it was a very unproductive visit. I found one wheat penny...that’s it.
On my drive home I decided to try another location (the front of an old private school property where I have permission). In the past I’ve found some tokens and one silver Washington quarter in this front property, so I wasn’t expecting much. And there’s a nearby cell tower that causes a lot of EMI on both my Equinox and Deus, making the detecting a challenge.
When my first signal with the Deus was a strong 95 I expected a bottle cap or similar, and was honestly shocked when this coin popped out.
I was so happy I packed up and went home after 10 minutes!
