2 Half Dollars in 1 Week!? Am I Hallucinating?

[Sapper724]

Earlier this week I got my first ever half dollar, a 1974 Kennedy. Tonight, I was out at the same family farm I've been hunting for a couple months, and I got a 91 signal. I used to ignore these, since at this farm they are usually beer cans or other trash, but since I got one half dollar, I realized that this number might actually be something, so I went for it. I dug, expecting garbage. Then, I saw a small glimmer of silver. Low and behold, there she was! 1943, and in great shape! Now I'm kicking myself in the butt for all the 90+ signals I've passed up! I've only ever found silver dimes, so this was a very big surprise! I guess I skipped the Quarter phase, but I'm sure someday I'll get one! I'm not complaining!

If you're still newer to the AT Pro, dig those higher signals! I found this one at about 6-7 inches with the 5x8. I know I'll be digging a lot more now, but if I can get one of these every now and then, I'd say it's worth it!

Happy Hunting!

You sure have some great hunting grounds!

I'm just surprised I'm still finding good stuff here! It seems I get something every time I go there, so I can't complain!

Great find on the walker! Never ignore a signal just because it's "out of the range"/"may be junque" think of how many nice pieces you've missed and retrace your steps to get the once in a lifetime find.HH.....

Wow very nice! I'm learning what everyone says, dig all the high chirps even the inconsistent ones.

Great find, when I get those high signals, I too dig them all. Most of the time they are a chunk of Steel but like my pop always said "You never know when a blind squirrel will find an acorn." And if you look close you'll see my white stick.

Nice find Sapper. I'm new here and I think it's great when everyone points out the numbers and the sounds they get on a target.

What were the setting on your ATP ??
