I started detecting two years ago. Recently I was making a delivery to an old hot springs resort. I noticed the old pictures of the late 1800's rodeo ground they once operated next door. I asked for permission to do a little detecting after work. I didn't find anything at first. I was checking the obvious places hoping for some silver. As I thought of the old pictures I moved over to the old rodeo grounds. All of a sudden I got a good signal. It was a Barber half dollar! I was so excited!! I went over and got my buddy to check it out. He was thrilled. I said lets dig some more. Next we pulled a Morgan silver dollar! Then another Morgan, and finally a second Barber half!! We were so excited. Some poor cowboy probably lost a day of pay. That's all we found there but it was worth it.

NOW THATS CALLED BRINGING IN THE MAIL!!! Nice finds and good detecting,and some good looking coins. Must of felt awsome finding them, I thought I found my first silver half dollar today(almost keeled over from heart attack) but it was just a big old washer, but oh that feeling was good!! Congratulations.HH
 
Those a re fantastic finds, I would be stoked to pull 1 much less 2 out of the ground in a day.
 
Heck of a day you had. You'll remember that day and the rodeo grounds forever. WTG !
