I got permission for a field last weekend, and it was worked up, and smoothed off. And we got a ton of rain over the weekend, and with temps in the 30's it was not drying out a bit!
I got off work at 3pm, got to the field by 3:40pm....so I had a lil over an hour to hunt before dark, was dying to get out. Every 5 ft I walked I had to kick mud off my boots, it was squishy, and a mess. I had what I call "frankenstein feet"....lol
Not much for the first 30 min....then I saw something about 15 ft away, and the sun was just shining off of it back at me....I walked closer and I could see right away it was big silver. Talk about making your heart race!!!!!
The first pic you see here is exactly like I found it, reverse side was facing me and I could see without even touching it, that it was a barber half!
SWEET!!!! This is the first silver half I have found in a field in 5 yrs of field hunting. And it is my oldest silver half this year. It was a 1900-S....it had some battle scars from the yrs of plowing, but I sure am NOT complaining. Didn't even have to dig for it.
I also got a V nickel and a Boyscout pin...ran out of time, hope to get back tomorrow for another hour.
