A First For Me. Big Silver!

[GreatLakesDigger]

This find is actually from new years eve, but i thought i may as well just post it up here, so here it is. My family and I went down to Tennessee, and I found my self up in some woods on a hill. I noticed what looked like a old road bed, as it was kind of flat, and there were no trees along it. I followed it for about 20 feet when I got a 91 on the Garrett AT Pro and I thought maybe it was a modern coin that could help date the road bed. I dug down 6", and out popped the coin, with just the silver edge showing. Perfect! It was my first silver half dollar! I kept Following the trail for about and hour and a half, picking up shotgun shells and other modern shot, then I followed it back. I'm right about back to where I found the half dollar when BAM! Another half dollar signal about 20 feet from the first. I dig it up, and another one is staring me in the face. Doesn't get much better than that! I'm guessing some hunter was reaching for something, and they just fell right out of his pocket. Poor guy!

Those are in decent shape too. Probably lost very shortly after going into circulation.
