well I have been in a silver slump now for quite awhile. And today that all ended in a big way. My buddy and I went knocking doors, we stopped and got permission at a larger 1800's brick house. The first few feet into the yard I got the buffalo nickel, that was a good sign, then wheat after wheat. I knew there had to be silver and I wanted it!

I walked along the sidewalk and got a solid 07-47 on my etrac. I was thinking no way this could be a half dollar! well it was a 1895 barber half. I was pumped because this is my first ever barber half and I also ended my silver slump. I stood up and the next signal about a foot from the barber half I get another solid 07-47.........I am thinking this can't be happening :thumbsup:.....another half!? well it was a 1918-s Walker. I was on cloud nine.

Walked around a bit more scored 2 rosies in one hole, then a 1918 merc dime, 1904 injun, and finished up the day with a silver war nickel.

Turned into a 6 silver day! I won't forget this hunt for awhile! :laughing7:

Great silver finds, way to break a slump! :notworthy:
 
So ... knocking on doors worked for you, eh? That 18s is sweet, but I would NEVER turn down a Barber half, either. Just wish I could find one: hole in it is fine. Big scratch? No problem! Hunting for 40 years now, and still not a Barber anything.

Hope to get a $10 gold soon, though. Workin' on it!
 
nice day of big silver :icon_thumleft: MR TUFF
 
WOW wow WOW wow WOW wow WOW wow WOW!! Great hunt man! Love them Silver Halves! Especially the Barbers! I've only found 5 of them in 18 years of detecting (all were found in the last 3.5 years) ~ and none of them are in the 1800's (1901-S, 1905-S, 1907-D, 1912-D, and a 1912-S). I dug the 1912-S Barber Half along with a 1868 $10 gold coin ~ in the same hole!

CONGRAT'S!!!!
