Yeah, my first self-scratched silver! AUGH!!! >:(

My brother's place is dated 1823, his neighbor's place is dated 1820. I detected my brother's place last year, got bunches of memorial cents and my brother actually unearthed a 1898 Barber Dime last year when putting in his addition to the house! No detector needed for that one!

Well I see that his neighbor's place is for sale not knowing that they're in Texas already. My brother is "watching" the place. He said go ahead, see what you can find!

I only did the small front yard, I got more bunches of memorial cents again but eventually started getting some wheaties then finally... a half dollar signal at 5 inches.
I began the plug popping and hit a tree root. The half was under the root. Thinking that I was careful enough, I still nicked it just enough to scratch it. Dang it! >:(

But nevertheless, I was still excited to dig up a silver half dollar! Woohoo! :)
Also got two child's play quarters and a Bermuda Piggy Cent too.
