Went out today for a 2hr hunt, wasn't expecting to but just had a hunch. :icon_pirat: The half was a bouncing signal going from iron to coin, iron to coin, iron to coin. I couldn't even pinpoint it so I just guessed where the center was an dug my plug thinking that it may be a dime with a nail next to it, boy was I supprised when I say just the silver rim sticking out of the plug, I was so excited that I had to call my buddy Watercolor about my find!!! Everything except for the 58 wheatie was a bouncy signal, if you want the goodies you have to dig the bouncy signals. :icon_pirat: Happy hunting everyone!!!

Congrats on the Ben Franklin half dollar, I would like to see one of those in the hole one day. happy dance even:)
 
Excellent "Big Ben", and we're not talking clocks.
 
congrats on the HALF!!!!!! MR TUFF
 
TreasureFiend you found a GREAT spot :headbang:

Congrats on your first silver half :thumbsup:

It took me two years to find my first silver half, which I found five weeks ago, and then yesterday I found my second one, amazing ;D

With the spot you guys found, I think you'll find more, honestly I'd work that area as hard as you can, it's rare indeed to find a virgin site these days :hello2:

HH,
Brian
 
Nice silver find, pity you spade-shaved it!! I did the same with a silver halfcrown a few months ago. It took the edge off the good feeling you get when you find a 'nice one', never the less yours is a very nice find.
hodge :icon_thumleft:
 
WTG on the "Big Ben" find. I found one last year........... but not quite as pretty as yours :notworthy:
 
Thanks again everyone for all your great comments. :notworthy:
