My 4th silver, a 1954 Canadian half dollar

[IWillFindTheGold]

This is my 4th silver, a 1954 Canadian half dollar.



My 3rd was just last night, a 1918 Mercury dime. I went back to the same area where I found the dime and uncovered the half dollar.


Sorry for the poor photo quality. I don't have a macro lens so I just shot it through my loupe.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback on this find!

Believe me, I was ecstatic to find this glorious chunk of silver! Many of you on Tnet have helped me a lot in getting up to speed in MDing. This is a great forum with awesome people. I'm still learning something new every time I go out, and that's one aspect of the hobby I really enjoy. Another aspect is all the great people who are in this hobby. A better bunch of folks you won't find anywhere.

Gold is my next goal, but even if I find one more silver as nice as this half dollar in my entire lifetime I'll be happy. Such is the nature of MDing that it is truly the hunt that matters.

Of course, I won't stop fighting to find the really great stuff. I'm continuing to dig through the city and provincial archives to find good spots to check out.
