Hunting an old neighborhood here in San Antonio I found an 1858 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. I also found a 1939 quarter, 36 cal round ball, and a 44 S&W case. My hunting partner Don found at the same site: 1894 Indian Head, 1920 San Antonio Transit Token, Gaming Token, a small lead toy car, and one more token that is so far not identified. All in all I think we had a good day there.

HH all

My digital camera sucks. I am working on either getting another one or maybe a scanner for posting pics here. I will post some finds once I get set up.

Sounds like an awesome site to hunt to me. Go ahead and take pics with old camera. Would be great to see them. By the way I am in the same boat with my camera. Was great in its day and still is at scenery shots. Just doesn't do so well in Macro.

Sounds like a pretty nice day. Say, I have family in LaCoste and Hondo, every heard of those towns? I'll have to take my detector next time I visit.

Congratulations to both you and your hunting partner. You all had a great day, I would say. I'm just north of Houston and look forward to your pictures.

Hey guys! I was stunned to see this back as a current post! We were only able to hunt the site a couple of times before the bulldozers came in and took all of the dirt out. I asked the contruction foreman where it was hauled to and he wouldn't say. I even offered him $100! The place was awesome, and the dirt had to be full of goodies. Here is a pic of the half.
