Detector(s) used
Bounty Hunter Elite 2200
I have been metal detecting for a few months now. My friend and I have been hunting a local jr. high school. I finally found this beauty under an old oak tree, maybe 6 or 7 inches deep. Found a ton on modern coins but a couple of wheats as well. This is a great forum, everyone is very pleasant and helpful. Looking forward to checking in!

I am new as of today wow what a nice 50 cent silver find . IN 35 years of detecting i have only found 1 silver half, would yuou believe in my own front yard circa 1951 Whittier calif. Good going how deep was it and what kind of a machine and did you use a probe electronic to locate or a screw driver? Email me back info would appreciate it. trzrhntr@q.com

I'm new to metal detecting. I bought a bounty hunter elite 2200 at a sporting goods store that was going out of business. I bought it on sort of a half whim without any research. I am still impressed with its ability to find coins. I dug the liberty with a small narrow trowel from underneath an old oak tree. Since then I have also found a BF half and a 35 quarter within 20 ft of the liberty. Have a good one!
 

Sounds like a great way to start to me
 

Awesome walking liberty half! I've only found 1 in my lifetime! That is a lifetime coin find! Congrats! I know the feeling of finding such a nice coin...you will never forget finding it! :thumbsup:
 

Few months of detecting, and you dig a Walking Half? From now on, you are on your own! :thumbsup:
