PICS ADDED! Firsts today!!! 1855 Seated Half Dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MADE THE BANNER!!!! AT JUST GO DETECTING!!!!

Wow i cant believe i just found my first half dollar, and its a Seated one at that!!! Went to work this morning finished a job from yesterday, got soaked, so i descided to go metal detecting. A few hours went by with nothing in my bag but a bunch of shootgun shells, horse shoes, and bottle tops. Then i finally came across my first wheat penny for the year, my 5th since i started detecting, a 1939. I then made my way towards the back of the property, walked deep in the thicket and decided to turn around before i get lost in there. As i was working my way back to the corner post i came acrossed a good signal and 2 inches down was the 1855 Seated Half Dollar! My first Half, second silver ever, second 1800's coin ever.

Thanks for looking, and HH.

Ryan.

Great find! My first half dollar was a seated as well. Yours beat mine in age by a year. Congrats on a great coin! They don't get much better than that!

Thank you, i had no idea it was even going to be a coin it was raining and i had a bag over the 250 so i was just going by sound, i had been digging trash all day. I first thought it was a telephone pole tag or a cow ear tag, but then i saw the date and the seated Liberty, then holycrap a Seated liberty half!
Thanks again,
Ryan.

I hate to tell you this but that half is obsolete send it to me and I will send you a nice clad one with orange paint all over it. You pay shipping both ways naturally. That thing is the silver of a lifetime I am green with happiness for you!
