thought it was another piece of trash

[gregd573]

After digging several pieces of trash....I had a 12-43.....12-44....13-45...come up on the monitor. I again thought it would be another can top or something like it. To my surprise it was a 1935 walking half.....of course I had to put a nick in it. Just remember....(which I didn't)...always dig like it is going to be something special.....happy trails

I know what you mean. I've had to MAKE myself quit hunting a couple times when I get tired. Why? Cuz I start getting sloppy. I would just HATE to mark that 1856 flying eagle cent that I'm gonna find one day. Just cuz I'm bushed.

Great coin!

HH!

Know what you mean WHADIFIND....I also have one of those flying eagle cents on my list too...if course with a list as long as mine....I hope to live well past a 100....for a chance to achieve my goal....lol

Very nice piece of American history you have there. I'm sure that the damage was painful but I bet your jumping for joy that it wasn't a banner find. At least this time. Congrats.

Nice find!

I found a 1927 S Walker Friday and was seeing the same thing 12-45, 12-46. Then I saw a 01-46 which made me dig it for the possibility of a half. The tone was breaking, but too nice to ignore.

By the way, I dinged mine too (at least it was on the rim though).
