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

You are just practicing for this weekend. I can recognize that old trick a mile away. Hope you find many more. You get those newer halfs out of the way so i can get the big coins! Nice job!

See you on thursday!
