I was very surprised while hunting a civil war camp site to find my best silver ever a 1848 half dollar. I also got a couple nice .58 2-ring German Suhl's. Also a nice candle holder and a few .69 round balls and several buck and balls. I have to hunt this one solo the land owner will only let me hunt. I tried to get the trio on but maybe later he will say yes. With my work schedule time is limited I try to sleep but Doug and Quindy are killing me digging all those bullets!!! The morning I dug the big silver I was headed to bed and Quindy calls telling me he had been scouting a spot and had 70 relics!!! I couldn't sleep after that... So soon after I called him with the news of my 1848 silver. Lol Merry Christmas too all and Happy New Years. Josh

Congrats on your amazing finds! Very nice big silver!!!
 

Josh, you might never had dug that beautiful coin if Doug & I had not called you and got you fired up about hunting. A great coin & the CSA Suhls are hard to find. What goes around comes around-I have an A.V.C. button in my collection that I would not have dug and Doug has a rare Republic of Texas button that he would not have recovered if you had not invited us to hunt with you. WTG Bud, Q.
 

Awesome finds !
 

That coin is beautiful! Congrats and Happy Holidays
 

that half is gorgeous. congrats!
 

Great digs! She's a beauty and in great shape. Is that an "O" mint mark I see there?
 

Very nice silver half!
 

Wow...... Way to go on the big ole silver. Absolutely awesome shape. We will try not to judge you to harshly for running around with such a wild crew. Hoping to see more from you guys. Congrats. :icon_thumleft:

Very nice coin and some great finds!!!
 

Nice digs, great shape on the coin. Its always so exciting when you first dig that hole and flip the dirt to see a silver glimpse of metal. Keep Digging since I can no longer dig its up to you to go out and find cool stuff se we in snow covered ground and have someting to look at while we wait for the snow melt.
 

Yes a That's an "O". Josh

That's awesome man! It's a beautiful coin and the O makes it that much better. Way to go! Two thumbs waaaay up!
