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

Wow!





Glad you posted the video. You sounded exactly like me when i dug my 1851 half dime a few weeks ago. My voice was shaking and all I said was "Oh my God". Thanks for taking us along in the moment. I enjoyed the video and that coin is beyond belief!! What a thrill seeing that big Toad come out of the ground and then seeing it was a BUST!! Congrats!! :notworthy:
