Just about $#*! my pants when this popped out of the ground!

[Dreamweaver43]

I've been tied down lately with work and family stuff, plus the heat, so I hadn't been able to get out. But this morning I got up at o'dark thirty and headed to the courthouse/early 1900 sledding hill to search for some Indians.

The first hour was uneventful, so I went back to my truck to change my coil. I started back detecting next to the truck, and got a scratchy, but solid signal. I went over it a couple of times, it was close to a trash can next to the sidewalk......so I was like nah. But it was repeatable, and I wasn't sure so I dug it expecting to pull 1/2 a soda can or something. I pulled a plug, stuck in the sunray, and bang...bang...bang, solid coin tone. One more dig and I can see the silver reeded edge of something big. I just looked at it in the hole for a while before pulling it out. I could not believe it. Seated Liberty 1875s half dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go home early, cause I couldn't concentrate anymore.

All I can figure is that it was on edge in the trash, and that why it wasn't found before. I really don't remember, because I was kinda in a state of shock. That's my 1st half dollar and my personal best find for sure.....

Great find. We all have passed on iffy signals especially after digging pull tabs and cans for a while.Sometimes its better to dig everything.
