my first silver,big surprise for me

[dagg nabbit]

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.

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

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.

Very nice 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

Congratulations on the silver find!

You did good on that big silver!!!
In my 20 years of detecting that
is one ive not found in the ground!

 

[unfound]

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.
