I had a good time Saturday with some good friends scouting new sites & saved a little history in the process. I finally found my first walking Liberty half! I've found a lot of silver dimes & quarters but only one half (Franklin). I don't find a lot of silver relic hunting but happy when it shows up. I didn't find a lot, the ground is super dry & hard, no depth. I also included a few finds I found after the ring return (didn't want to overshadow that story!)

Beautiful! I have not found one either. The old Mercedes dime is cool and as well as your interesting variety of other finds.

There is no better feeling than pulling big silver from the hole....
If finding a gold coin is a "hole in one"....
Then big silver is like chipping one in from the trap for a birdie.....

You'll always remember that shot!
