Was out doing some RECON for possible hunt sites.
Talked with a couple people. All said no...Approached a few homes..Nobody home...
Was by some property that I have permission to do. I thought what the heck, lets look around
again. In the past,3 or 4 other times,I've only found wheaties and change.
Was there about 1/2 hour when I found the 1941 Merc. 5 minutes later I got a solid 50 cents $1 signal
at 4 1/2 inches.
Made sure I dug a large enough hole a I'm glad I did. Saw the reeded edge and said, OH YES!!!
It turned out to be a 1942 Walking Liberty Half....
Found a couple wheats after that then went home to clean them up...

Hey GOLD FISH #59 and #60 don't think I'll make the 100 mark...


THANKS ALL for Looking and HH

That half looks like it's in pretty decent shape, WTG.

Nice silver. Are you sure it wasn't laying right on top of the ground? Most of the whites guys I hang around with have made there best find with the targets just laying on the ground. ;) :D ;D (RR and BB I'm picking on ya!)

Seriously, what did the silver ring up as far as its number goes?

Nice hunting Bob. I too have noticed that you havent been posting very much this year. I take comfort in knowing that you simply havent had much time and nothing drastic like the fever passing has happened to ya. You can get out there and hit them hard next year,not like they are going anywhere,HH...Shoot
