I had a quick half hour before coming home today. After a killer hunt yesterday featuring 2 KG's and more, I needed a less intense little half hour to ease back into non-colonial digs.

I was in gone hunting mode with my CTX and had a strange signal. 3-45, 12-47, 12-45, 01-50, 9-32, 12-28 etc... It was about five inches down so I starts digging. I thought it was a buried clad quarter but low and behold.... 1917 s Standing liberty half. It was standing on end but luckily I wasn't fooled by the scattered signals.

For those coin experts out there, it was a reverse S and not the coveted obverse S with only 1/2 million made. All in all it was a great half hour and a great half.

Happy Spring and thanks for looking.

Yep. Besides the scattered signals it was like a dart being thrown at my forehead and sticking. AKA something you couldn't miss. ....Unlike the pings and pangs we were chasing yesterday buddy.

Thanks guys. This spot consistently coughs up silvers. The condition is pretty decent so I'm thinking it was in there a while and is actually one of the older coins I've found in that spot. I missed this with my CTX in coin mode but nailed it with the Gone Hunting program.

It's hard to find nice early Walkers before 1923. Great coin. Nice find. It would make anyone's day.

Nice silver! Congrats on this one. Just wondering about the Gone Hunting Program??? Is that an actual name of the program or a customized program? For some reason I'm scratching the :icon_scratch: right now and it hurts, the only thing I can think of is relic mode or just having wide open. This bad as I have had my multi coffee already.
