BIG SILVER + Copper # 9

Rick (Nova Scotia) · Apr 12, 2012

Cool and windy didn't want to go to far, so headed to a place where I got an 1806 (or 07) GEO III Copper two days ago.

It wasn't more than 15 minutes before I get the first decent signal.

1854 New Brunswick half penny currency. The 9th copper of 2012. I continued on for I'd say an hour as the battery died in my watch before I get another good signal this one is up in the 90's. Figuring junk of some kind I flipped the plug over to see something big and silver colored in the hole, always hoping silver, but expecting aluminum. Not this time, 5 years waiting for this one, my first Silver half dollar 1918 NFLD. I'll take it.

I got another coin before pulling the plug on the below freezing wind chill, happy to call it a day with one crossed off the top ten list.

Good luck out there.

Not a rare coin but certainly a rare find!

I'm always amazed to see how well the Geo coppers come from the ground over there, the Silver looks real good to. :icon_thumleft:

Nope certainly not rare, worth exactly scrap, but first 50 cent piece in 5 years, more rare than a gold ring which I've found many.
Very happy to find in my hole. maybe the next one will come sooner.
