I'm still shaking. I decided to hit up the yard behind my house that is currently empty. I have done it before and all that I found were wheat pennies and junk. What I thought was another crushed beer can turned out to be this beauty.

Looking good in Portage. Congrats. It's getting hard to find places in Martinsburg that haven't been pounded by the dozen other MDers from around here.

That's awesome, congrats. What's also cool is a few weeks ago I also found my first silver dollar and it is also a 1922 peace dollar! I've been detecting for about forty two years and never found one but found this one in a modern swimming lake that I hunt regularly. Either it was a good luck charm somebody lost or a child had it and was playing with it and dropped it. It was in knee deep water. Once again, congratulations on an awesome find.
