My first SILVER and it's HUGE and MINTY
I love reading everyone's story on how they found silver(s). I often wondered "when will I post my silver find?" Well today was the day. I went out with the expectation of mastering my DFX and finding clad etc.
I went to an old church near my area (permission granted) and decided to swing for clad and perhaps relics. After 2 hrs of swinging I lapped up $1.15 in clad and my ....what I thought was the find of the day...a heart-shaped watch. Pretteee good, pretteeee pretteee good.
Now here comes the typical part.
I decided to head back to car "swinging" of course. I hit upon a reading of 89 on the MD. Well why not probably another aluminum can. I pushed my "mauler" in about 4" and knelt down and a blazing disc faces me. Wow a token of some sort. NO! Without even cleaning the dirt off I read 1833 and a lady's head. This coin looked like it was planted it was so immaculate! Even the soil was pure! All this only 10 yards from getting in to my car.
I thought I would gradually get to this type of find. Perhaps getting a worn barber first before getting something like this! Well coin is so mint that many of you may think it was planted. But alas, this was found in the ground untouched for 175 years. Thank you DD777 and Eu-Citizen for your conversations and encouragement. Hope to share more in the years to come.

Unbelievable, 
I have been hunting for four(4) years I have found no Silver Half Dollars or Dollars.
