hello all,i've had my at pro for just a few months,so I'm still a noob I guess.i actually found gold before silver when I found a 10k men wedding band.i hunt a old and present campground that's been in use sinse the 40's.i found a couple of 40's nickles.a.45 and 46,and about $70.00 in clad so far,so I figured there had to be silver somewhere.theres a lodge built in the 1930's across the street from the campground I also detect from time to time.i decided to try close to the lodge this time,there was a gap between some bushes barely wide enough to get a good swing in and I got a sweet high tone and vdi in the 90's.out popped a 1945 waking liberty half dollar at 3 inches.i'm sure someone heard my holler hehe.i know its not much for some of you pro's,but a big deal for me.heres a quick pic.thanks for looking.

Very nice find. Congrats!
 

Clean looking Half! Nice First Silver!
 

DN, Great save, congrats. Also, as a fellow ATPro jockey, I appreciate your info on the VDI, tone, and depth of the find. I haven't found any silver coins larger than a dime yet, but still trying. Sub 8-)
 

So awesome.. I don't care what anyone might tell you.. if that is in the plug you are digging you get excited. I found the same thing a couple weeks ago and it was very nice.. even a 1945 just like yours.. favorite coin find for me. :)
 

Nice walker, welcome to Tnet...
 

Sweet!!

That's a big deal to me, still looking for my first big silver!!

Congrats!!!
 

That's a killer find for any of us. Congrats on a great loling piece of silver with a nice clear date. Hope you find many more
 

No matter who finds, still one of the most lovely finds! WTG!
 

Very nice:occasion14: hope to get a "Walker" this year, last year wasn't so good for silver "coinage" only got a few dimes.
 

Nice walker. Large silvers gets all of our hearts thumping louder. Found one about two weeks ago and it reminded me of what a special coin they are.

Nice score
 

Did you do a Happy Dance :) If it were me I sure would have....fantastic coin. Congratulations and HH
 

Don't know about anybody else, but I've found a few of them and I still yell when I find one. Good on ya and congratulations on your find.
 

Congratulations on the silver find!
 

Even the most experienced don't find many of those. You'll look at it a thousand times, you'll have trouble putting it down and most of all You'll Want More !!!
It only happens if your coil is over it.
A good day for any detectorists, noob or seasoned.

Between work and weather I've been having a hard time getting out. I'm jealous as can be, but happy to see others success.
