OMG I dug Draped Bust silver!!!!!!!

[sscindercoop]

Hit A new spot today and was hoping to find some copper. My very first signal was a 1951 nickle and then about 10 minutes later I got a high tone on the E-trac bouncing all over giving coin numbers 1-46 12-48 and some other numbers in between so I figured a copper lawn sprinkler. I dig down and see a big silver!!!!! I was like cool Morgan Dollar. Then I picked it up and the dirt dropped off and I saw the most Beautiful coin Ive ever dug!!!!!! A Draped Bust Half Dollar!!! I was so happy I started to shake and all I could say is omg omg omg its a Draped Bust!!!! I got this one on video but Im not sure if I will post because I just lost control and made an Idiot out of myself. Thanks for looking HH

You really should have this one slabbed. Chris and Jim can send it in for you so you don't have to do all the paperwork and such. Thumbs up!

This has to be over a $2000 coin from what i see the well worn circulated ones going for. And scarce to boot. What a score ! Congratulations! You gotta love this site. I love seeing what amazing things T-NET members find.

Thanks, My coin is better then xf its probably closer to $5000 HH

I think it is more closer to 6,500.00 I believe you may have a small 3

edit: sorry I need to correct myself it is 5,500.00 it's only the large date sorry again

Congrats on a well deserved BANNER find.
