👉🏽FIRST SILVER👈🏽 1858-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar

Finally...... a little over a year of frequently hunting and then this!!!! My first silver and she's a beauty and an old one! 3/4in depth (Surface find) I thought I nicked it with the digger at first so I was kicking myself in the butt, but once I got home under closer examination I feel better knowing I didn't nick it lol! Probably a lawn mower my guess.

This was found at the same location I found the 1905 Portland Fair Token on a previous hunt. 10 minutes in and first target of a 2 1/2 hr hunt at a 1857 home site!!
I was hunting in a custom setting I created on my V3i, single frequency 2.5K, 100 recovery speed, sensitivity 9, all metal 68, disc 88, 5 low filter.

Thanks for having a peek! HH

Congrats! That's one awesome find!!
 

major bucket lister for me! congrats
 

Seated half for a first silver?!?!? Wow man, congrats big time! With that kinda luck, you'll probably be on a gold coin shortly! Sweet find! My one and only barber dime was badly hit by a lawnmower :( sucks when it's on a special coin or a first-find, but it's still always a nice find ;) good stuff! HH and GL!
 

You started off your silver coin career with a bang! Literally. I always cut wide to avoid the "Zingos" and I'm sure you will now too. That's a super find and one to be wicked proud of. I've found only one Seated Half in the near thousand silver coins I've dug. Congrats!

Yea I didn't nick it, found it like that but I thought I did at first! I'm definitely amazed and probably won't find another any time soon!!! HH
 

Congrats on your first silver
 

Wow! What a first silver to find! Congrats!
 

Amazing first silver!! Sure beats my first (1964 dime) haha.
