Almost didnt dig it... Glad I did!

Almost didn't dig it... Glad I did!

I got out for a short half hour hunt today. Had permission to hunt the yard in front of a house that was built in 1918. I was getting very annoyed with those pesky copper pennies from the 70's ringing up at a consistent 12:42-12:43 @ 5"! I decided to just dig it all to clear the yard out in hopes of un masking the deep stuff. So I flipped my plug fully expecting to see another penny when all of the sudden I get a glimmer of silver in the hole. BIG silver! Yessssss! 1952 Benji. Love surprises like that! And then..... Nothin... Like one wheat. Strange yard.

I love finding silver halves. That is a funny pic! I found my first half in a yard that only produced one wheat!

Did that silver half come up like a penny on your detector? congrats on the big silver.

Sooooo, a silver half dollar sounded like a 70's penny!?!? LOL

WTG!

HH!

 

[recondigger]

I wonder what made it read like that

Scouts out!

 

[Wildcat1750]

Definitely worth the effort!

 

[Sooper Dave]

Nice Big Silver you got there! Don't see very many Ben's! Congrats

 

[Dr.Tones]

Yup sounded just like a penny. Pretty sure it was because of some trash in the hole though. CTX 3030 did it again. Fourth half in 4 months!

What does it read in air?

Stinkin' Lincolns are still better than high-tone aluminum shards!! Congrats on the nice coin.

Love the pic...and the big silver! I think the look on your face epitomizes the feeling we get when we dig a great find that surprises us. A lot of halves turning up this month. I just said yesterday that May is official Half dollar month. I got lucky and found one yesterday too. Congrats!
