While I was in T-net chat, I decided to go to the little patch of woods across my street too swing for a few minutes for the heck of it. I got one signal and it was a nice HIGH PITCH. I dig it up and 3"- 4" down is my second silver!!! To match, it's my oldest coin to date and smallest coin to date!!! It's a capped bust half dime that came out of the ground with a tib bit of tarnish (odd) But eather way I am sooo AMPPED its not even funny :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
I abruptly ended as soon as I got this thing in my hands!

It's amazing what you can find across the street, isn't it? I found a sweet 1832 capped bust half dollar not 100 yards from my front door ... in a townhouse community built in the 1980s. Anywhere there is old growth timber in a populated area, you got a chance! I'm starting to prefer woods hunting.
