Hello Treasurenet!
My dad had a softball game at the old local park. I have been MD'ing it for a year and a half and been quite please, a few pieces of silver, many wheats, and bunches of trinkets. However, i still had stuff to find
Clad kept popping up right and left. All the kids have left except one and i got a half dollar/dollar signal. Usually these are trash, but i try to dig everything. I plug the ground with my trusty camp shovel and used my pinpionter to figure out where is was. It was just beneath the dirt at the bottom of the hole. I pushed the dirt away and saw a shiny disk. At first i thought it was a token or a chunk of aluminum. I popped it out and a coin shape flipped out. I picked it up and just about had a heat attack. It was an 1898 silver Barber Half Dollar!!! I controlled my excitement and told the kid to keep quite and i sent him away with an old Canadian cent. I MD a bit more and found 1 and a half keys and a Chuck E. Cheese token.

), and a few chunks of stuff that look old. I'm amazed that i missed this for so long. It was a solid hit in a park I've been md'ing for a year an a half, but only a few week with the DFX....which i have to credit this discovery too
