Well, here is the culmination of a couple of hunts. I removed the really junky stuff and only included the stuff that was mildly interesting to interesting.

See the foot. (I did find something over a foot...I just don't remember what it was!) :P


I found this on the edge of a yard that dropped off steeply to a retaining wall. It was 'only one' of a handful of silver coins that I have ever found, and a HALF DOLLAR to boot!!! I was super stoked!!! Mastereagle was with me and watched me remove it from the plug. He is currently seeing a psychologist over the event. :tard:

He was actually happy for me and looked kinda like this when he said "Congratulations":

Here are some other miscellaneous things that I found:

Beautiful walking liberty! I once found my first (and only) Ben Franklin half in the middle of a ND field (once used for political speeches back in the day); I was hunting with two buddies but they weren't near me when I found the half...they DIDN'T Believe me that I'd found it...not sure why, I'm a very honest person. Oh well.

Heartbreaking at best! Anyway, it was my only BF Half and I was happy to have found it!

BB,
Way to go on the humongous silver big guy! :thumbsup: Great find for sure. She's a beauty. Use it to pay for some dental work for ME. Those teeth are getting a bit long. ;D :wink:
Weird question: what company name is on the back of that spoon? Mine always seen to be Wm. Rogers or Niagara.
Congrats,
MM
