Hit my first Large Silver today.

[michigan michael]

I went to a school that was up for renovations. My first coin was a 1936 Wheat penny. I knew this was going to be a special day. I ended up with 3 wheats a 36, 52 D, and a 45 D. I hit $7.21 in clad and a big Benji Half Dollar. This is my first large silver. The only others I have dug has been mercurys and roseys. I had to take a seat when this one came out. I never thought I would recover a silver halve. Thanks for looking everyone.

Thanks everyone. I agree with you Felix. I knew this was something other than a 50 cent piece that was ringing on the ace. I was just digging trash at that point. all I could say was "no way!" Still cant believe I dug one of those.

Matt, This site is a real limited time deal. I can only hunt it at after the construction crew leaves and on weekends. Some areas have already became off limits due to fresh grass seed planted. The ace has a little trouble locking down signals because it is solid clay. This site is pure hard work but, cant wait to get back out there. This sure is one strange hobby! lol

WTG, MM!!!

Old balding Ben is pretty homely in my opinion, but never more handsome than when he's in the hole you just dug!

He's not easy to find - nice work!!!
