Christmas break is over and I had a free day, so I hit another old ballfield I found with some old maps. Ask permission and the nice lady landowner said go ahead, but you won't find anything it has been detected before. Boy am I glad she was wrong. Found the dime trifecta plus one. Added a nice 64 washington, and after what seemed like the 100th Al. can I dug out popped the Standing Liberty Half. I about fell over, first one I dug and I scratched it. Next time I think I have a can I will be a little more careful. The Field was chisel plowed and really rough, should be more to find when the farmer levels it off. Thanks for looking.

Awesome finds bud! :thumbsup:
I know that after I dig nothing but pulltabs, cans and bottle tops all day I catch myself digging holes with a lot less precision than when I started out. I think that happens to all of us once in a while. You got that one out of the way for 2009, so you're good to go for the rest of the year.

Nice finds Johnny Deer! My 1st walker (1917) I retrieved perfectly. Like i was a real pro. Then I took it to work with me to show it off and I stupidly flip it in the air and dropped it on pavement. Big nick on it now! My oldest coin (1876 IH penny.) Really in great condition. I thought it was junk digging it up and just gorged the tails side with my spade. Of course I didn't show the tails side when I posted that one.
 
WTG on the silver!!!!! :) Nice job on the half dollar and all the dimes and the quarter!!! :)
 
Awesome nice finds Congrats :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
