about had a heart attack...

[ashleysflyr]

I was detecting a house I had my eye on for a while now. I kept getting this darn half dollar signal, and every time I dug it I found another toy farrari! I got about my 5th half dollar signal..a little deeper, and decided to dig it and get it out of the way. I rolled the plug over and saw a silver "taco!" I just knew I had a silver dollar folded in half...I tried to tell myself "don't get excited!" I couldn't stop myself though! When I cleaned it (in the field, heck, it was already folded in half) I saw the statue of liberty So, I thought about it and decided I hadn't ever seen a silver dollar with the statue of liberty on it? So, I cleaned it the rest of the way and this is what I found...


Oh well...maybe next time...still a cool token!
I found this button, about the same size as a dime...

and several wheats, the oldest of which was this 1919s...

Got a couple dollars in clad.
Not much, but thanks for lookin'!!!
